Hi, UK here in The Noob Lounge Posted March 17, 2019 · Edited March 17, 2019 by RedSlayer Hi, I bought a second-hand Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ just as a cheap introduction to NAS drives. Everything works fine, but, my main intention was to use it as an IP camera footage storage device (NVR?). Someone mentioned Synology, and I was prepared to go that way, until I heard about 'licensing' per camera! I find this ridiculous, as there is no additional cost to the manufacturer for each camera added. Then someone pointed me at XPEnology, which sounds to be just the ticket. I'll scour this site, but, if anyone can point me at any links that will help me for this device - then thank you. (p.s. First I'll try the USB boot option, then probably have a go at flashing the internal firmware.
