8.4 Storage Expansion

Without a doubt, storage plays a significant role in the field of digital surveillance.

However, users everywhere are facing the challenge of storage capacity for long-term

recording. Now, QNAP Security has introduced the storage expansion feature to

eliminate this problem. Making the right storage decision with regard to storage

expansion is truly important to save money & time for all users. The various QNAP

Turbo NAS models are the solution that expands on the storage capacity of the NVR

to save more recording files. The storage expansion can provide up to 64TB (16-bay

model) additional space per channel, totaling more than 200TB. Integration of both

QNAP devices can help users easily save a significant amount of recording files.

Key features:

1. Addressing user needs: Users can expand their storage capacity based on their

needs.

2. Reducing expense: This is a cost-effective choice for expanding storage capacity.

3. Highly scalable for future storage expansion.

Limitations and Restrictions:

1. Currently, Storage Expansion is supported only by the VioStor Pro(+) series and

QNAP Turbo NAS x69, x79, x70 series (with firmware version v4.0.2 and above),

and they are required to be set on the same LAN.

2. A gigabit switch is required for this application.

3. For NVR and NAS servers located on the same subnet, please always use static IP

addresses and the same subnet mask.

4. Modification on storage expansion related settings is not supported on local

display.

5. The file moving process between the NVR and NAS will be completed even if it is

suddenly interrupted (for example, the destination folder is deleted). For example,

the cache count is set to six hours. The destination is changed to none in the

middle of the processing. When this happens, the NVR will still move recording

files to the NAS until the entire process is finished.

Note:

In order to ensure that Storage Expansion can be executed during the recording

process, please be advised to estimate the limitation on network throughput for
