As mentioned in other threads, I currently own 6 DCS-930L cameras. I'm in the market for a new NAS and have been looking at the Synology DiskStation DS211.
http://www.synology.com/us/products/DS211/index.phpAll of the Synology models use the same DSM (DiskStation Manager) operating system and it's pretty slick (there is a live interactive demo on their site). What really captures my attention is the Surveillance Station module and it's features:
http://www.synology.com/us/products/features/live_view.phpSeems like the way to go in terms of capturing actual VIDEO clips and not just static images (without having to resort to running the D-Link D-View software on a PC running 24/7).
However, two things are currently show stoppers:
1. The DCS-930L isn't shown on their
list of supported cameras (yet), and is currently listed as "incompatible" with the current DSM 3.1 software according to their
user-reported list.
2. All Synology products include just one license allowing you to only connect one camera. Each additional camera requires it's own license, at $50 apiece! So adding 5 more cams would cost me a very unreasonable $250!
That said, the Synology products do host quite an impressive list of features. And DSM 3.2 is currently in Beta. If the next release supports the DCS-930L and if I can find additional camera licenses at a more reasonable price, this could very well become one very nice surveillance solution.
Until then, who knows?
