I'm a Synology advocate. I have a couple of the RS815. I use it as a NVR with my Hikvision IP Cameras too.

Thanks, that fixed the printer but not the Sonos. I have reverted for now.

This broke my printer and Sonos, so i'll be switching it back.

Getting on really well with my Unifi Switchs. You may want to swap your ERX for a USG though so you can see your APs, Switch and Gateway all under one controller.

There was a thread about this a while back you may wish to search for. I ended up going with Synology Surveillance Station. My favourite by far was the Ubiquiti software, but it only supports the ubnt cameras which weren't up to scratch (and a bit pricey/hard to acquire... at least in the UK).

Bingo. There are a bunch of Cat5e around the house (mostly used for cameras and phones), 8 speaker cables for the 7.1 system, a couple of fibre runs currently not connected and a couple of coax runs from the satellite also not currently connected. The cabinet now has sides and glass door on...

Out of interest why are you guys recommending the Edgeswitch over the unifi switch? I went for the unifi switch, not that there appears to be much difference...

You might be able to set firewall rules to redirect all outbound traffic from the LAN on the DNS port to your preferred DNS server(s).

Well technically, whilst they can't do anything while you're disconnected, there could be something (say a key-logger for example) running/capturing while you're offline which they can then retrieve if/when you plug back in.

I thought it was open source?

I looked into this recently and was pretty disappointed by the lot. The Ubiquiti Unifi Video software is great but will only work with their cameras as far as i'm aware. I ended up settling on Synology Surveillance Station. It's not free and requires Synology hardware to run too, but I...

Flawless. Relatively quiet, low power consumption, nice interface (shame you do need the controller running on another device though). As an alternative you could go for the Edgeswitch, which has the builtin interface. I'm using Unifi APs too, so need the controller for those anyway.

I went down the 10gbe + shared storage (synology rs3614rpxs) route and regretted it, The servers, NICs, NAS & switch were expensive, big, heavy, noisy and power hungry (and performance wasn't near that of local storage). I've now gone with a couple of incredibly low power supermicro shallow...

Ubiquiti Unifi Switch 24 Debating whether to buy the 48 for the office i'm hopefully moving into next month...

No idea unfortunately. Other than the word "Freenet" on the front of it. I found it on eBay a few years back.

Just redid the comms cabinet at home. Really need to do the full rack at some point. Painful job i'm not looking forward to. Before; During; After;

Finally got round to taking the network down to rewire the comms cabinet and ran the ubiquiti unifi switch 24 with nothing connected; it idles at about 25W. When it boots it's only using about 17, which seems weird, most devices spike whilst booting. Still debating ordering the 48port model...

i'm getting on fine with my square Unifi AC AP. Performance isn't what i'd expect from AC but i've not had to power cycle once.

I need to recheck the figures, but think my NAS idles around 20W now and ESX hosts about 35W so ideally i'd be looking for less but that sounds a little optimistic... I just found a post saying the Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch ES-48-750W idles at about 44W. I have a Unifi Switch 24 at the moment but...

I need POE and one of my primary concerns is power consumption but it seems really hard to get that info for the majority.

Are the Cisco's CLI only? Or do they have a web interface?

I'm in the market too. Do you need POE? What are you most interested in? Performance? Interface? (UI/CLI) Power Consumption? Price? Noise? I've got a Ubiquiti Unifi Switch 24port 250W and tempted to go the obvious step to 48port 500W...

Nothing particularly needs to perform better. I'm in the process of moving office and will need to be running both offices in parallel for a short period (which means additional hardware). The hosts run quite a range of VMs; Active Directory SQL Server Microsoft Windows Servers (web...

Just ordered; 2x Supermicro 1U Server E3-1240v2 3.4Ghz Quad Core w/ 32 GB to compliment/potentially replace my existing; 2x Supermicro 1U Server X3470 2.93Ghz Quad Core w/ 32 GB I'm hoping they're going to perform slightly better and maybe even consume a little less power. The existing...

I've deployed the ERL at a few client sites with notoriously flaky power and staff who are rather careless (accidentally unplug etc) and never had an issue. Clearly, i would always recommend an elegant shutdown, but alas, no issues to date.

graphs look rather disappointing performance wise when compared to an old airport extreme? i have to admit i've been somewhat disappointed since moving from my airport extreme to UniFi AP-AC v2

nope- still not working

Price probably reason #1 Also... ethernet seems a lot less popular, i'm sure that's not a coincidence? Oh, and I believe ethernet also consumes more power... Sure there's more reasons i can't think of

I originally went for the XS708E- and instantly regretted it (lack of ports, poor/lack of web interface/cli/featureset). Then stepped up to a dell 8024 (24port for about twice the price of the netgear) and find it a lot better! However... that being said, wish i'd gone for fiber or infiniband.

I've got the "fake" or chinese hikvisions and have no issue with them. My old Airvision UBNT cams are supported by synology but fairly sure the UVC new ones aren't? I prersonally never had any issues with the NVR software and thought it was much better than any others i've used (the main 2...

I bought a 3-pack of those new UVC bullets and the new UVC domes. A bit disappointed to be honest, I ended up "upgrading" to Hikvision. They are a little overpriced for just 720p BUT the NVR software is brilliant, beats every other piece of software i've tried hands down (and recently i've...

Something popped up on my facebook yesterday saying rewards are available if your grass up your friends and family!!! I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

1 release a year isn't exactly "active" but I guess dead wasn't strictly accurate I may give it a try at some point. I actually had a response from synology regarding the CPU bugs and have managed to improve things a little by changing the resolution for live view but still not overly happy.

I need to buy a new reel of patch (still have quite a bit of structured) and the cheapest one I can find on eBay only states 100Mbit; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305M-1000ft-Cat5e-Network-Ethernet-UTP-LAN-Patch-Roll-Cable-10-RJ45-Connectors-/400745760147?hash=item5d4e4f0593 I was under the...

I guess i'm just picky and was spoilt with the UBNT software.

BlueIris looks dreadful. Literally looks like something out of the 80's. I guess if it works maybe it's worth putting up with...

So I bought 8 licenses for Synology. Rather disappointed so far as it's using 100% CPU on my desktop when in live view with only 5 cameras.

i'm about to take the plunge on synology licenses, but still find myself unconvinced. the massive feature that seems to be lacking with all the solutions i've looked at (including the synology) is the web frontend (only running in IE with nasty plugin requirements). really would love to use the...
