They are broadly comparable, and both support advance motion deteciton and so I consider them to be equally good. I use mine as a VPN server to securely connect from outside the home and access my home automation system, turn on lights, turn up the heating, check out my security cameras and more.Īlmost every NAS sold today has a surveillance camera feature, but only two companies have the software that can really pull it off – QNAP and Synology. Providing redundant RAID storage, a NAS can serve up documents, stream music and movies to any device through the DLNA standard. This is where a NAS typically comes into the picture. Sharing media and documents across the home is a challenge without a central media server. Every family member probably has at least a smartphone, and probably a laptop. The modern household is a tech-heavy environment. I have explored the differences between QNAP QVR Pro and QNAP in detail here. The main attraction of QVR Pro is that it comes with 8 free IP camera channels (or licences) whereas QNAP Surveillance Station and Synology Surveillance Station are limited to 2 or 4 free channels. QNAP has recently launched QVR Pro, a very capable alternative to its own Surveillance Station app. In my opinion, the best surveillance station apps are the ones from QNAP and Synology.
These apps are usually called ‘stations’.Įxamples of such ‘stations’ apps include Photo stations, Video stations, Backup stations and Surveillance Stations. Most manufacturers offer various apps that can be installed on their devices to add or extend its abilities.
A NAS is basically a computer that runs a custom Linux operating system created by the manufacturer (Synology, QNAP, Asus etc.).
