While the 512MB RAM may not sound like much, bear in mind that these NAS boxes are basically extremely energy efficient Linux PCs. But one big upgrade is the new quad-core processor, which improves performance substantially. This NAS looks very similar to its predecessor, the DS218j. The DS220j can serve as your file server, stream media across the home, automatically backup your devices, set up your own private cloud for file-sharing and monitor your IP cameras as well. The Synology X20j series is the starter option in the QNAP NAS family and range from 1-bay to 4-bay models. Analog cameras are considered plug and play.Synology is well-known for its high-quality hardware and very intuitive OS called DSM. Some of the benefits of using analog cameras is cost and ease of use.

CMOS image sensors have seen an increase in demand because they are considered by some to be superior to CCD sensors although the technologies have balanced out in terms of performance. Now there are several chip manufacturers creating imaging sensors which rival the quality of the Sony CCD. Sony’s CCD sensors have been a long time favorite among consumers looking for quality security cameras. The connectors needed for connecting the camera to the DVR is a BNC connector. The type of cable required to connect analog cameras is coaxial siamese cable or RG59. Analog CCTV cameras are typically cheaper than digital cameras. Today’s recorders take advantage of low cost hard drives by taking the video from an analog security camera and converting it into a digital format for long term storage inside of the recorder. No video quality recording limit (unlike cloud security cameras, you are not limited with 10 seconds 720p)Īn analog security camera broadcasting at full resolution and 30 frames per second consumes less than 2MBits per second on a network.

No video recording limit (overwrites old videos - can store as long as years depending on storage) You can make these devices to record to cloud but by default they do not. When you buy security cameras with recorders from us, they are your private storage and not recording to Cloud. Cloud cameras are made in way to only record to cloud such as Google, Amazon and it can be accessed by individuals or entities depending on circumstances and depending on their privacy policies. "Onsite storage" means these cameras are not cloud cameras. Our customers report 5-7 years lifetime on average.

They come with minimum 3 years warranty so it is solid investment. "Commercial grade" means these cameras are not made off of plastic or cheap aluminum that will fall apart right after warranty expires. We specialize in commercial grade - onsite storage security cameras.
