quote:Yeah it's just a matter of software and maybe/hopefully upgrading to a 2.5 or 10gbit port and the UNVR would make a great NAS.
But I also learned the ubiquiti will probably be releasing a NAS soon because of the way some people are using their NVR.

I saw some filings for it to be named the “pro,”‘so presumably a 7-bay NAS. They already have an SFP port capable of 10gbit- they’d probably rather sell their dongles and direct-attach cables than upgrade the Ethernet port. And in this particular case (where 5m ago a Reddit post walked idiots how to do it on existing hardware and Ubiquiti responded with something to the effect of, “wait, you guys would want this?,” it’s hard to blame them.
A $300 4-bay NAS (an ‘converted’ NVR) isn’t bad (unless the glued-on USB drive melts away again). But it’s still a very manual process, and it’s a pretty dedicated single-use box (or maybe dual-use if you’re brave enough to run protect and SMB shares, though it seems that protect likes to overwrite in its own directory, not from the new directory created)
Granted, when deals like this come around, you may argue better value is in the cast-offs. If only there were a way to silence and throttle the 230w of cpus on that monster.

Does Unifi make an all in one NVR solution for PoE?
Looking on their site I see several NVR options, but they need to be paired with a PoE switch to power the cameras, and a gateway to connect to the internet.
I do see a Dream Machine Special Edition that looks the closest to what I'm looking for- but I'm not 100% sure.
I currently have an NVR that provides power to the cameras, connects to my home internet, and has a hard drive. It also has the ability for continuous viewing via HDMI, but that is not a deal breaker. It is a very basic system and I'm looking to upgrade.
