There have been several break-ins into houses in the neighbourhood that had cameras and NVRs but the thieves also stole the NVRs, so no video, and they also cut TV cable and phone service cables!
Currently, I have 7 hikvision 3mp (ds-2cd2132-i or similar) cameras running into a DS-7616NI-SE/P NVR, and the NVR is LAN connected to a ASUS RT-AC68U router. I am considering adding a small NAS, that can be put inside a vault, that backups or directly stores the video from the cameras. The NVR currently has a 4TB WD purple, which has adequate storage. All cams record only on motion.
Would a QNAP TS-251 be an appropriate NAS ? Would I just plug the TS251 into the router and then use qsync to copy the nvr files to the NAS, perhaps once every 15 minutes?
Or maybe added a dlink 8 port POE switch, run the cams into the switch, connect the switch to the router, add the QNAP NAS, buy 5 SS licenses, basically running the video into the NAS inside the vault?
Would the TS-251 overheat inside the vault? There would be 2 holes into the vault, one for Ethernet and for power.
I don't want to upload video to the internet, or be dependent on internet service.
Any other recommended configurations to save video in case of NVR theft?
