What is the Best IP Camera for Outside use with your Synology and QNAP NAS https://nascompares.com/2019/01/03/best-outdoor-ip-camera-for-synology-and-qnap-nas/

One of the most popular reasons that people buy their first network attached storage (NAS) is the ease and versatility of setting up a cheap and fully featured Network Video Recorder (NVR). Almost all modern NAS feature surveillance support to a greater or lesser degree, whether it is a proprietary application like Surveillance Station or QVR Pro, or the NAS can support 3rd party applications like milestone surveillance. However the NAS server is only part of the ideal surveillance network setup and in order to capture your recordings, you will need network supported cameras, known as IP Cameras. There are hundreds of brands out there that will try to sell you their IP cameras, but only a small % are actually compatible with NAS systems, as it requires the camera to be used and controlled by the NAS software.

We have seen many, many cameras at NASCompares and because it is such a confusing subject, we thought we would make a small guide to help you choose the right outdoor IP cameras for your NAS server. This guide breaks down the individual hardware/software features you will need to consider, as well as highlight the pros and cons of each NAS compatible IP Camera.
