glennmckenna Posted April 29, 2015 #1 Posted April 29, 2015 hi all i'm currently running a synology ds212j, but well for what i need it to, which runs surveillance station for 4 cameras but the problem is that the processor is maxed out, so i set out to try and find a way to upgrade it. i then thought would it be possible to install it on a computer and that is when i found this but my questions are: is this legal ? can we just run updates like we do on the disk stations ? are there any advantages and dis-advantages with this ? can i run surveillance station with 4 camera on it in global i would like to have as much info as possible Quote
mervincm Posted April 29, 2015 #2 Posted April 29, 2015 I run both real synology NAS plus Xpenology NAS. legality is likely not an issue, but please realize that this product is something Synology actively works on stopping. Its available despite their efforts, not because of it more CPU is exactly why I run XPenology in addition to my real Synology. the most recent versions, so fat, seem to update the same as a real Synology, but in the past that was not the case. You should be OK with being a bit behind Synology's last versions. advantages are - cheaper and bring your own hardware. This means better performance for the $ than real Synology disadvantages are -no support in failure -not all features work -not all hardware works -more difficult installation and maintenance -unknown future -if you really rely on it I recommend you have a sandbox system, something you can play with. Something you can test upgrades and changes on. I know that sounds like a lot of negatives, but its work it in a lot of cases. I have built four or five xpenology systems now, and these days it is quite easy and working well. I have no idea about cameras sorry. Quote
glennmckenna Posted April 30, 2015 Author #3 Posted April 30, 2015 thanks for the info that one of the main things that i would like to know witch the surveillance station package Quote
jamie Posted April 30, 2015 #4 Posted April 30, 2015 I'm using Surveillance Station 7 on my Xpenology box with 4 cameras currently, the most I've had are 6. It works really well Quote
demon_sl Posted April 30, 2015 #5 Posted April 30, 2015 I'm using SS7 last, without problem, 99 license on my NAS vs 10 camers, to get patched package see here http://xpenology.me/surveillancestation/ Quote
glennmckenna Posted May 1, 2015 Author #6 Posted May 1, 2015 tat looks good but for the update of surveillance station will i have to wait for xpnology to release it or can i just download synology's update ? Quote
jamie Posted May 1, 2015 #7 Posted May 1, 2015 If it's a patch you'll need to wait for the latest version to be patched. There are some license keys floating around on these forums if you'd rather not patch surveillance station Quote
demon_sl Posted May 1, 2015 #8 Posted May 1, 2015 you can try to patched version even in his ds213, will soon come on the site instruction xpenology.me, with regard to the future then I have several servers running 4.2 and works great! Quote

demon_sl Posted May 13, 2015 #15 Posted May 13, 2015 we do not remove the author of the patch apparently has not responded yet, the form of work if you do not see an error message that it's okay, Quote

ruinit Posted May 13, 2015 #17 Posted May 13, 2015 I'll find out what happened, everyone will get a password I posted in these forums is what I meant. But thanks for looking into it. $50 per camera is just crazy imo Quote
demon_sl Posted May 13, 2015 #18 Posted May 13, 2015 the author gives individulno because does not want to patch into the hands synoligy Quote
raceboy Posted May 14, 2015 #19 Posted May 14, 2015 thanks for the reply. but when i update .spk DSM says it's corrupted. anyone? Quote
demon_sl Posted May 14, 2015 #20 Posted May 14, 2015 the package is not designed to update, you need first remove the old package and install new from zip archive Quote
demon_sl Posted May 14, 2015 #21 Posted May 14, 2015 And ! If you use DSM 5.1 - disable packet inspection in Center application settings Quote
raceboy Posted May 14, 2015 #22 Posted May 14, 2015 thanks for the tip. but i can't find where is packet inspection in center application? Quote
raceboy Posted May 14, 2015 #23 Posted May 14, 2015 i found it:) you have to change Settings -> General -> Trust Levet (From Synology Inc. -> Any publisher). It works. Thanks again! Quote
eluSiveNZ Posted May 15, 2015 #24 Posted May 15, 2015 Can you please provide detail for the form to submit THanks Quote
cstout Posted May 27, 2015 #25 Posted May 27, 2015 I can't find any information on the xpenology.me site regarding surveillance station. I'm interested in this patch but this thread is all I can find with regard to a patch and that website. Looks like the packages page is password protected too even after creating an account on the site. Does anyone have more info on how to obtain and use this patch? Quote
