That’s about half the price of just software licenses for a NAS box, and an order of magnitude cheaper than NVR boxes in the market. Eight screwsTotal cost comes to $120 if you have some spare parts around, or about $140 if you get everything and add shipping too. #SYNOLOGY LICENSE HACK INSTALL#microSD card (about $6 on Amazon)-optional, you can install on built-in NAND. 2A 5V USB power adapter (e.g., for $8.50 on Amazon)-optional, if you have one already. Here is what I got after about a day:In addition to some familiarity with installing Linux, a 3D printer, and, you’ll also need.

Some time ago I bought a few and installed them in our apartment, originally for baby monitoring, and I wanted to set up a proper security surveillance system.
