Narrative: I want to buy two new NAS boxes, but I’ll have to wait on one of them for a bit. I have to conserve what little money I have left.
One of the three DNS-321 boxes has a bad hard drive.
I checked my closet and i had an identical drive with a bunch of recorded TV on it. Very early this morning i installed the drive, formatted the both of them as a RAID 1 and then ran a diagnostic test on them.
Three hours later the enclosure approved the drives for use. The next challenge is setting up a “Public” folder that the cameras can put their video on. I also have a traditional DNR that links to a China cloud, but it’s good enough to use for a VPN circuit if I block access to the Internet. My third option is to actually buy a ASUSTOR to link to the cameras.
First up though is to update all these cameras to the latest firmware and have them reach out to a known wireless network.
Don’t forget to mow the lawn, even in the dark… LOL
