Can this camera stream video 24x7 to a NAS drive using samba/smb or ftp?

Not exactly sure about full time 24x7... It can be configured to record based off of motion. From there you can set the motion detection area to everything in the camera view... I found it easier for samba/smb to my NAS drive on the same network. Just be sure to change the storage amount to be configured...Ref. pgs. 61 - 65 in the user manual for different configs etc.... Hope that helps

Yes, no doubts. This hard drive designed for NAS systems and supposed to work 24x7 so it is very reliable but could be a bit slower in read/write/seek tasks than hard drives designed for performance .

Yes, I use a raspberry with raspbian to stream the cameras with the browser to a 19" monitor.

You don´t need install any software on your PC/Mac. The NAS has the most popular protocols: SMB and CIFS (Windows PC), FTP, NFS (Linux) and AFP (Apple computer). It also has media server protocol (multimedia streaming in smart devices like cellphones, smart TV, game console, etc), and time machine feature (Apple network backup) but I couldn´t make that works :-(. The device came with some application (mostly backup utilities and NAS networks discovery), but the instalation is optional.

You shouldn't have any issues. NAS firmware will work independently from the OS. You will control the drives from the NAS UI.

Yes, it can support Synology and its Surveillance System, it ip camera is OEM of Grandstream, so you can select "Grandstream" from the Synology supported camera list. Thank you very much. Fosfun

I stream from a SMB server on my network just fine. It's a USB HDD enclosure on the router, the router supplies the SMB server itself, it should work well for you.

No, this is not a NAS (network attached storage). It doesn't run on its own. It needs to be connected to your laptop to work. Try the QNAP and the Synology products. Those are standalone NAS units that can run Plex.

Much of the streaming speed depends on the quality of your network. If you have flakey AP's or hubs(why Lord why?) or crap switches between the NAS and your destination then prayer is the only thing that can help. This NAS has a gigabit NIC so it's ready for anything. I have not used "Video Station" the Synology streaming app that is free from the Synology Package Store but it gets excellent reviews. Make sure you order quality hard drives like these RED WD's http://www.amazon.com/WD-Red-NAS-Hard-Drive/dp/B008JJLZ7G/ref=pd_sim_pc_2. Try to order the model with the + like the Diskstation 213+ or 413+. These models have more RAM and better processors. I've setup 3 of these in the last couple of months and I love them. I've used the Buffalo and the Iomega and others including the hybrid Windows Home Server - none can touch the Synology models for ease of setup and speed. Join the Synology message board and spend a few minutes researching setup. Watch some of the videos on your target use of the NAS so that when it comes you're not surprised. It does take some time to format and check the drives but after that it just sits there doing what you want it to do. Good Luck! Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I use the Qnap NAs that has the software for it. It also serves as my Media Center NAS so I can watch the camera video on my smart TVs as well.

The P2R 100 does function as a Ftp server. I will say it should work. I was able to setup it up as a ftp server and also as a Samba server

Thank you. for recording, internal hard drive is required. unable to record directly to a cloud server or networked NAS. Regards

No this is not a NAS. This is simply a USB NIC which requires a PC to operate.

I have this running on a 9821W right now. Works well. Foscam cameras are a bit average and it drops out sometimes and loses image occasionally, but I purely blame the camera. Lots of Foscam cameras are identified in the Synology Surv. setup.

It's not listed as compatible, your best bet is to use a drive listed as compatible from the NAS category of drives, purpose built for use in a NAS.

I dont believe this enclosure is meant to be use as NAS. It can be configured while connoted to a computer.

NO.I've tried this configuration as well and realized that NAS only recognizes the first HD in bay. Could not find any workaround for that so, I decided go for a 4 bay NAS storage. Currently I use this NAS as printer server only.
