QNAP<\/a>. Qnap is known primarily for their network storage appliances, but they also offer one of the best IP Video Surveillance platforms we have come across.<\/p>\nThe QNAP solution starts with a small-footprint Network Attached Storage Appliance. Onboard storage capacity on the Qnap VioStor product line ranges from 1 Terabyte – 8 Terabytes, depending upon the number of IP Video cameras you need to record. The front of the QNAP unit houses 1-8 hot-swappable SATA hard drive bays, which can be set up in a variety of RAID configurations.<\/p>\n

The QNAP VioStor is configured and managed through a simple web based user interface. The actual NVR software is embedded in the firmware of the storage appliance itself, so there is no O\/S to install or additional software needed. All of the QNAP appliances run on a Linux footprint.<\/p>\n
QNAP provides a wizard-driven or manual configuration, and setting the system up is as simple as plugging it into your LAN along with supported IP Video Cameras from a wide variety of vendors, including popular ones such as Axis, Dlink, Linksys, Vivotek, Sony, Panasonic, Mobotix and many others.<\/p>\n

The QNAP VioStor models are “channelized”, much like traditional security DVRs. They are available in 4 channel, 8, 12, 20 and 40 channel models. Qnap also allows you to administer and monitor IP Camera feeds from several QNAP VioStor units, in different locations, all from a single PC\/locale. This means that if you have multiple homes or office locations, you can remotely view video feeds from all of these locations, in a single feed, from virtually any PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
