License for surveillance station more affordable

Post by claudioita »

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

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 ?

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!
