I setup Motion Detection on the Synology and even enable Live View Motion Analysis and the DS412+ was chugging along at around 25%. Synology NIC monitor was showing 3.1 Megabytes/Second which is about correct. After I set all the cameras us and changed the admin and 888888 passwords to something else, I put the cameras on the Synology's 2nd NIC, enabled the DHCP server on NIC 2 just to see how they would all take.Ħ x Cameras at around 4000kb/s each = 24Mbits/Sec.
I set them all up using an older 3com 2226-PWR Plus 24port PoE Switch and hooked them up to my network first. I first setup each camera through it's web interface as 720p CBR 30FPS to see what kind of quality of video I'd get on my office network. That's the part that surprised me but I had a few issues that I'll explain below. How much CPU and RAM does the motion detection consume for 6 cameras when everything is running? Setting video recording to MJPEG is a significant downside, though, as it will make the recordings a lot bigger.
I am well versed in networking/software/electronics (engineer), but I am quite new to CCTV/Video surveillance, so don't be afraid to throw technical details in my face. It would also be cumbersome to view recoreded events from remote (on my phone), although live view would be no problem, of course. The downside is that this software has quite a few shortcomings, and additional camera licenses are ridiculously expensive.ġ) Is it possible to set motion detection in the Dahua camera to save some network bandwidth to the NAS? If motion detection is to be done with Surveillance Station, it will need to continuously stream the video from the camera, but perhaps it is possible to avoid that if the camera itself does the motion detection?Ģ) If yes to question 1), how does that actually work? Is there some kind of push protocol in use?Īnother option is of course to use motion detection in the cameras, and have them upload event videos to the NAS by FTP, but then it is quite impractical to quickly get an overview of the events, as each file needs to be viewed in a Dahua player software (or converted to AVI by Dahua software). The best option seems to be the Surveillance Station package, at least if I want to easily browse the recorded events, and to access them remotely. I also own a Synology DS213+, and I am thinking of using this to store the video from the cameras. I am planning to buy a few Dahua bullet cameras (either HFW2100 or HFW3200S).
