Well, I'm sure you're sick of hearing from me by now. I've been watching more of your videos. I currently have a Synology DS918+ populated with 4 WD Red Pro 4 TB Drives. This is currently sufficient fore my current needs but will upgrade the drives in another year or 2.
I am looking at adding a NVR for surveillance only. I will be using a minimum of 4 4k cameras recording 24x7 plus recording from my doorbell cam. I would like to keep a minimum of 30 days of video on the NVR. I have to buy a new NAS anyway so I've thought of:
1. Using my 918+ and install WD Purple Pro's and buy a different NAS to use as an actual NAS and the 918+ for surveillance.
2. Buy the Synology DVA3221 for Surveillance only.
3. Buy a different brand altogether and either use it as NAS or DVR.
Budget is not important.If you would please recommend your top 3 recommendations and which use and briefly why. If other than Q or Syn, the preferred HD brand.
Thanks,
Ryan
