That being said, if an NVR is out of the question and your TerraMaster NAS is just too good to let go, then follow this guide to get everything properly set up.įor this application, I have used a TerraMaster F2-210 equipped with a couple of HDDs (a Seagate IronWolf 2TB and a Seagate IronWolf 4TB in RAID 1) and a Reolink RLC-520A camera that has a built-in motion detection sensor (and a lot more, but for the sake of this article, this is more than enough).įurthermore, I will skip the installation of the software on the TerraMaster NAS (I have written a review of the F2-210 here), as well as the app configuration of the RLC-520A – it’s worth noting that besides the mobile application, you can also use the Reolink Client for Windows or MacOS, but for now, we’re going to use the app. Nevertheless, it’s very much doable and I know that some people (even professionals.) were taken back by the lack of a dedicated application, but there are other means to push the video to the HDDs (or SSDs), such as FTP.Īnd the good news is that the TerraMaster NASes can work as FTP servers and the Reolink cameras as reliable FTP clients, but be aware that FTP is everything but secure (the packet sniffing risks are real and very dangerous). And the answer is yes, you can, but it’s not going to be as simple as with other NAS brands (such as Synology or QNAP). If you got one Reolink camera (or several) and a TerraMaster NAS as your home server, I am fairly sure that your first thought was whether you can use these two devices without needing to go the NVR route.
