Thanks, but don't we still need additional camera licenses from synology or is it because you are using different software to monitor the cameras you don't need to buy additional licenses from...

Just curious as I also wanted to setup surveillance using synology; So you end up buying 6 additional camera license? wouldn't that be more expensive than buying a DVR/NVR system with 8 cameras?

I have the DS 411+ which has been awesome. You just leave it on all day and it's like having your own accessible cloud. It's pretty nice data security

I have 7 surveillance cameras and images have to be written fairly fast. I think RAID-5 had disadvantage in writing and reading is good, whereas RAID-10 has writing advantage.

RAID5 is a disaster waiting to happen. Resilvering is all but guaranteed to fail. You are way better off with RAID1, 6 or 10. 10 is really the best, but yields the least usable storage and requires...

RAID-5
This is perhaps the most useful RAID mode when one wishes to combine a larger number of physical disks, and still maintain some redundancy. RAID-5 can be used on three or more disks, with...

you can still setup RAID 5 with 4 hard drives. the additional hard drive just becomes more storage for the complete RAID array.

The Blue Blink of Death occurred on models released quite a while ago, and this has been resolved. It's a non-issue now. I have the 1812+ running raid 6 with WD Red drives.

I have one of these and it is very powerful. Not for the non-tech savvy, though, it does require some documentation reading and googling in order to get it to do all you want it to do. There...

Yep, you need a managed switch on top of the NAS to get link aggregation. I was excited about it until I found at, as you mentioned, that it doesn't increase the speed to 1 computer for transferring...

I'm running Raid6 (SHR2) on my 2413+. It is working fine and no performance issues.
On the newest software, DSM4.2, there's also the option to setup global hot-spares. Prior to that I believe...

Yup this is correct. Raid5 just requires 3 disks minimum where 1 drive is a parity drive. And Synology has their own modified Raid5 system (SHR) that works even better in my mind because you can mix...

Actually, the purpose of the 2 LAN ports is for Link Aggregation which essentially increases the overall Throughput(?) of the NAS. Basically, when you have multiple users accessing the NAS, the 2 LAN...

I don't think this is correct either. For raid5, all you need is a minimum of 3 disks. He has 4 2TB disks, so he'll lose the usable capacity of one drive. (N-1) * size of smallest drive.
