QNAP’s VioStor range of NVRs are now available from our webshop.

QNAP are a well known ‘Quality Network Appliance Provider’.

Their award winning range of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices are very well known and respected in the IT world.

They now have a great range of Network Video Recorder (NVR) devices, specifically designed and built as an optimised network appliance to record CCTV from IP cameras on your network.

We have added the following NVR models:

• QNAP NVR-104P – up to 4 IP cameras recording to a single hard disc unit of up to 1 Terabyte capacity
• QNAP NVR-104V – as above. The only difference is the mix of compatible camera manufacturers (essentially P for Panasonic, V for Vivotek).
• QNAP VioStor VS-2008 – up to 8 IP cameras recording to two HDDs to max total capacity of 4TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-2012 – up to 12 IP cameras recording to two HDDs to max total capacity of 4TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-5012 – up to 12 IP cameras recording to five HDDs to max total capacity of 10TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-5020 – up to 20 IP cameras recording to five HDDs to max total capacity of 10TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-8024 – up to 24 IP cameras recording to eight HDDs to max total capacity of 16TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-8032 – up to 32 IP cameras recording to eight HDDs to max total capacity of 16TB
• QNAP VioStor VS-8040 – up to 40 IP cameras recording to eight HDDs to max total capacity of 16TB

All of the units are supplied without hard discs. You can very simply fit your own – see the series of unboxing photos for the VS-2008 to understand how simply the drives are fitted or replaced.

You can purchase your drives from us or any supplier of your choice – they use standard 3.5″ SATA HDDs.

Anyone who has ever had a drive fail inside a traditional Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and been told by the manufacturer that “replacing drives is a specialist job and that’ll be £500 please” feel free to exclaim your delight in the comments below.

QNAP have a great website dedicated to their NVRs at www.QNAPsecurity.com with loads of information and useful resources.

They are compatible with a wide range of IP cameras – you can check for the latest list of proven cameras here.

Finally, just in case there is any doubt, these units are supplied with CCTV recording software to record your IP cameras. They’ve just released a free firmware upgrade to further enhance the feature set of their built-in NVR software, but more on that in a later post …

The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opens tomorrow in Las Vegas.

It’s the annual show where all the big boys showcase their new toys.

Take a look at this early news of a new wireless N router from D-Link featured over at engadget.

This router is the ideal solution for the consumer who wants to be the first on his or her block with the ultimate ‘all-in-one’ networking device.

Says Daniel Kelley, senior director of marketing for D-Link Systems.

Of course, it is a state-of-the-art wireless N router, but take note of the ‘STORAGE ROUTER’ badge – it allows you to connect and share USB hard drives as if they were network attached storage (NAS).

Some network cameras, such as Mobotix, are already able to store their surveillance video to network attached storage directly (without the need for any PC or server to be running video recording software) – ideal for those who would rather not run a PC 24/7 for surveillance at their home, office, holiday home, etc.

There’s a wide selection of NAS drives available, but what makes this router option attractive is that standard USB external hard drives are a good deal cheaper than NAS drives, and this router will make a USB drive behave like an NAS drive.

The CES show opens tomorrow.
