Hello! I have my home and two rental properties that I'm looking to put cameras in. My home will ideally eventually be a third rental. With detached garages on all three, it seems I could get up toward 16 cameras each place.
I currently have a DS220+ and two 12TB Red Pros sitting unopened. Curious if they should stay that way and be returned.
Would three DS220+ (perhaps with RAM upgrade) suffice, and what size drives would you recommend? Or would this be a waste and I should just go with the DS920+? I don't know much about NAS, but it would seem to me the 920+ would be better from the standpoint that is one drive failed, there is at least one other for recording, whereas in the 220+ is one drive doing "the work" and the other is solely backing up the primary and unable to do "the work"?
Sorry for the run-on sentences and poorly written questions.
Also, I have an old 1813+ that is still running. Is there anyway to try to make it viable or is that a waste of time? Perhaps it should be local backup.
Thank you so much for your time!!
