can you use a HS-DHTGL/R5 for security cameras?
« on: March 13, 2020, 01:14:46 PM »
was cleaning out my office and found my old Terastation Pro and was thinking what to do with it.
Has anyone used one to hook up wifi cameras ? what has worked and what hasn't??

thanks
John

I imagine if you have cameras that can deliver pictures/video over FTP you could use it to store the data.

You could also install Debian on it:

Theoretically you could then install any application you want, provided it runs on a headless armv5 linux box with very low CPU/RAM.

I've not looked into anything related to security cameras but may some day in the future.
