The Right NAS For A 14 Camera MP Project?

Brian, Axis responded with some useful feedback. Let me recap: On the AXIS Camera Companion compatibility page we have listed 3 different NAS drives that are used as reference products.
They are:
Axis noted that "These three models have been extensively tested with 16 cameras recording frequent motion detection with 720p resolution at 30fps. They also passed the test with simultaneous read/write (playback/recording)." Interestingly, all the models listed are higher end SMB / professional units, NOT the entry level consumer ones. They are not a huge difference in price but more in the $400 rather than $200 range. Axis also had these recommendations: * Make sure the NAS is updated to the latest available firmware * Use hard drives recommended by the NAS manufacturer * Split up the cameras between the hard drives to decrease the load on each drive * Set up quotas for each camera on the NAS to make sure every single camera has its dedicated space on the hard drive I though the splitting up cameras between hard drives was interesting. It requires some more configuration and I am not sure how much benefit it will provide but something to think about.
OK. Thank you John
