I need 8 cameras, having 2 free license from QNAP, I need to buy additional 6 licenses, around 300 US$ in license fees.
For that price I will not buy the licenses (I own already a NAS) and instead I will buy a dedicated NVR (actuyally it cost me 200 with HDD included).
I do not understand license policies from Qnap

Re: License for surveillance station more affordable
Hi,
I agree, that is far to expensive, especially given the fact that you already bought a Qnap product.
I have the same problem and I will never pay 300 box, reason why my next nas will not be QNAP...
Anybosy knows workaround ? Cheper programs in the form of manually installable app (like ispy for windows ?)
Sorry
....

@claudioita and with a x19 NAS 8 cameras will not work anyways .. so good choice
@lascale no idea what NAS model you have... you have a NAS with VM capability ?

Re: License for surveillance station more affordable
I totally agree. I already have an 8 camera cctv system with NVR. Wanted to expand & experiment with IP cameras but when you consider the license costs (which cannot be transferred if your buy another QNAP NAS) it is way too expensive. Get real QNAP - some money is better than zero!
