NAS for storage&Surveillance? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hi,
Keep looking for a NAS device usable for personal data storage(photo, movies, work projects) but also surveillance camera recording. When I aloust decided to but DS218+ a Surveilance camera specialist tells me that using a NAS for noth this task will distroy the NAs in max 4 year(due to IP Camera recording). Is this info true? Should I use sonething else? The camera model are DS-2CD2F42FWD-IWS.

DS218+ is a good choice, and having Surveillance on it will not destroy a NAS.You should surely choose WD Red or Purple drives for this task. But NAS is made to do this and more.I hope this helps.
