1. Can it stream motion detected videos to a remote FTP over internet? 2. Can I use any FTP or it must be manufacturer's cloud? 3. Can store to NAS?

Dear Pianist, our ELP-IP1881 IP Camera support FTP through internet, you can go to Main Menu&lt;System&lt;Netservice&lt;FTP then you can set the FTP, your own FTP is ok. It can also store to NAS, but you need to set the NAS! Best regards! Lizzy

I used to have this device and it's very good for the price, I played 1080p movies without issues, netflix and such. I have also used VLC to play video and music files from a shared drive on a PC, I understand it's not the same as streaming movies from a NAS, however I do think VLC has that capability, so I don't see why it would not work.

Yeah, On their cloud... The design is pretty bad in my opinion, not intuitive and slow. I accidentally purchased one of these after being mislead by the retail packaging. I thought it was compatible as a SMB device, but wasn't. Best get a router that has a USB plug for your home server. You can even set up an FTP for remote access if you choose. There are better NAS solutions than PogoPlug.

I went with the Brite-View CinemaTube instead and I am very happy with it. The only problem is you can't use the bittorrent feature with an HFS+ drive. But that's a non-issue for me. Otherwise it works great. And with the new firmware due out any day now you will be able to copy files from you mac to the HD connected to the CinemaTube. I haven't yet used the streaming but it's a cool feature th Asus doesn't have. I use it to play avi and mkv files mostly. Cool device and mac compatible. Hope this helps.

You can save whatever files you want to it locally (on your lan) outside of that you will be limited in speed and perhaps file size. Really, if you don't want to build your own server, it's the best way to go. I was just a little disappointed that features that were once free are now paid upgrades. Still a very good product.

As long as you don't expect this unit to do heavy transcoding on the fly, it's great. You can stream a 25GB blu-ray with DTS-MA as far as network and transfer speeds go. You just need something to transcode that for a display, like a mediacenter PC. I've seen mine crush low bitrate HD video down for cell phone viewing, and Standard Def it can handle on the fly, but anything serious will kill the CPU in it. The quality of the Syno based plex server app itself is top notch. I almost never have to restart the service to uncrash it.

Just got this in the mail recently and I have to say that it is excellent in terms of its ability to play internet video (though for some reason it takes the LQ stream on youtube on occasion), and does well with paid streaming services - it does not have support for videos on NAS or USB

this is a switch, you would need to have a NAS/hard drive to record the camera video, or use a camera that can act as a server and send snapshots of events like motion detection to your email etc.

You need to have a hard drive in the unit, but can catch the RTSP streams coming out of the cams or the unit itself to a NAS/network drive.

The P2R 100 does function as a Ftp server. I will say it should work. I was able to setup it up as a ftp server and also as a Samba server

Can you plug an HD Antenna into the back with a USB dongle & watch local over-the-air channels?- I have not tried it, but I don't believe so.Can it see/browse video files on a network NAS?- Yes. It was able to see my SaMBa share without any problems and play the videos there.

I have not tried that but I stream from a home server with no problems.I hope this helps.

it is a home NAS (network attached storage), you connect it to the router (via ethernet) and access it through your PC (i.e. \\CLOUDBOX) or through your tablet/mobile device, its an always on device (i suggest you get a UPS for it).... also has a torrent downloading machine where you can upload your .tor files and will download them for you (or magnet address)... preferably set it up with a static IP.... hope this answers your questions

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

Much of the streaming speed depends on the quality of your network. If you have flakey AP's or hubs(why Lord why?) or crap switches between the NAS and your destination then prayer is the only thing that can help. This NAS has a gigabit NIC so it's ready for anything. I have not used "Video Station" the Synology streaming app that is free from the Synology Package Store but it gets excellent reviews. Make sure you order quality hard drives like these RED WD's http://www.amazon.com/WD-Red-NAS-Hard-Drive/dp/B008JJLZ7G/ref=pd_sim_pc_2. Try to order the model with the + like the Diskstation 213+ or 413+. These models have more RAM and better processors. I've setup 3 of these in the last couple of months and I love them. I've used the Buffalo and the Iomega and others including the hybrid Windows Home Server - none can touch the Synology models for ease of setup and speed. Join the Synology message board and spend a few minutes researching setup. Watch some of the videos on your target use of the NAS so that when it comes you're not surprised. It does take some time to format and check the drives but after that it just sits there doing what you want it to do. Good Luck! Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's not a plug in play solution. Yes you will have to set it up. The good news is that it's been done before and documented online. Some simple linux commands, copying and pasting and you'll should be able to get it up and running. You may need to tweak some settings in order to get it running right. So it may be some what of a learning process. The link to the blog I use is below. http://jeremyblythe.blogspot.com/2012/06/motion-google-drive-uploader-and.html

I use the Qnap NAs that has the software for it. It also serves as my Media Center NAS so I can watch the camera video on my smart TVs as well.
