Network Attached Storage

A few days ago one of our existing customer called, he told us that his shop was burgled and his DVR was taken. He asked if we had a DVR system which can store the recorded video footage away from the DVR.

He is not the first victim who had encountered this deathliest CCTV system setback. The whole purpose of setting up of any surveillance system is to provide the user with clear recorded video footage, what is the use of a sophisticated CCTV system if the video storage was taken or damaged?



The only way to prevent the recorded video footage from being taken away or vandalized is to perform distance recording, record and store CCTV video footage away from the DVR.

You can do it on-site or off-site. Off-site CCTV recording is to record away from the site, it relies on the broadband. For example, surveillance cameras being deployed at the office and the recording being done at the owner's home.

Since broadband speed is slow in our country, it is close to impossible to perform distance recording if many cameras were deployed, another alternative is to deploy Network Attached Storage (NAS) to the surveillance on-site network.

NAS is essentially a self-contained computer connected to a network, with the sole purpose of supplying data storage services to other devices on the network (like the DVR).



Since those CCTV cameras are not connected directly to the NAS, intruders will vandalize or take away the DVR instead of the NAS. further more, NAS can always hide away from the DVR.
