Hi, I’m getting 4-6 poe cameras taking advantage of the NAS I have planned for so long to get.
I’m not getting an nvr, it costs way more of what I can afford plus I need a real NAS for Plex and file storage and I don’t think all that deep analytics is necessary for a home owner. I think I just need movement and recording upon detection and zone selection, correct me if I am wrong pls.
1) I want to understand what capabilities to expect from surveillance station on a normal NAS.
2) what are the minimum requirements for a NAS to handle at the same time cameras, media consumption, file sharing, photo managing and maybe a pihole in a docket container? Would a 2020 dual core be enough? Quad core? ds223j too weak?
3) in order to assess my pool drive, how much space should I consider for camera use? Considering recording only on movement and deletion after a couple of days I imagine.
Thank you
