Home Wifi CCTV Cameras, linked to NAS

[Scrag Meister]

Anyone running a NAS with a wireless PZT security camera attached? I have a QNAP TS410.

Am looking to rig up a couple of cameras at the front and rear of the house.

Any camera recommendations? Am looking for VFM here, not 1080p broadcast quality, but not trying to be a cheapskate either.

Adv-Thanks-ance

Yes, I run a couple of cameras using the built-in app from the Synology NAS. Very good, just make sure you pick a camera from their supported list - see the synology website for details.

I wasnt keen on using wifi, so I cabled them using homeplugs.

Looks like QNAP also have an approved camera list here: QNAP Systems, Inc. ( Compatibility List ) - Quality Network Appliance Provider

Erm, not sure whether to mention or not but there are some camera recommendations on qnap site but they are webcams... that no good?

Thanks, am aware of compatibility lists but was wondering if anyone had any specific experience of a particular camera they would like to recommend or slate for that matter.

Preferably night vision, reasonably high res, PZT is a nice to have.

Unfortunately not on your approved list, but I use Storage Options cameras, and they are pretty good. In door ones have PZT, the outdoor one has a powerful IR, both have excellent video quality.

Indoor PZT was under 70 quid, outdoor was 120 I think.
