DIY CCTV System, with Synology Surveillance Station

Can I use solid state drives (SSD) instead of traditional spinning hard drives?

I notice all reviews show the video format as h.264. Can these support h.265?

Can you access the live feed outside of your network, ie on the road?

Which cameras are you using?

Great voice, clarity and cadence....much appreciated.

It’s like google nest without the subscription.

what is the different between ds220j and ds220+

It is ridiculous if not criminal on your part Mr. "MakeUseOf" to promote as "budget" a bundle that costs $550+ in the USA (cheaper price in Amazon) and on top of that to "push" the surveillance video software which comes with two "free" cameras (how much can you REALLY do with ONLY two cameras, that's something you did not bother to explain) but you dared say it ONLY costs $50 to add extras cameras, oh! what a deal really!? You guys at "MakeUseOf" and all similar websites you should be ashamed for the sneaky promotional antics you are using, I am sure you are augmenting your bank accounts but you are certainly are not helping us the end users.

The code works !

I love this, will definitely be giving this a go. One thing I wonder, how do I know how much storage my cameras will use? I'm going to use this as my NAS storage for photos and videos, but when I add 6 cameras, how much should I plan to devote to it?

@ Work we have a 218j and its great

Switching to HomeKit for my new house with the secure video and ios 14 updates. Also weak point is a burglar taking the recordings with a network drive.
