The synoloogy OS have a lot of apps you can install for other uses. Most popular is plex server. Sa mga groups marami ang ginagawang storage ng mga Movies nila at naka share sa friends and family nila via Internet. Synology also have app for it to become messaging server, email server, photo backup server, music server.

Regarding CCTV, I haven't researched on it since I don't need it yet. Pero Sa forum parang may nabasa ako na may subscription. Tapos per camera pa yata bayad. I'm not sure kung kailangan yung subscription or para lang yun maging cloud yung CCTV.

I have 2 bay Synology NAS with 2 x 2tb harddisk. Bought the Synology for 16.5k and the 2 x 2tb seagate ironwolf harddisk for 10.5k total. Medyo tinipid ko yung harddisk kasi na overwhelmed ako sa price. Our 1st NAS na nasira sa blackout was only 1 harddisk and only worth 3k.

Wrong move yung pag tinipid. Since mirrored yung 2 harddisk I only total of 2tb storage for a family of 4, which is very small. Important files lang talaga nandun. I bought a 2tb external harddisk and attached it to the USB of NAS and use it for movies and musics. Hindi sya mirrored pero ayos lang mawala yung mga Movies I can always get them from jolly Rogers pag na corrupt. Haha.

We still have onedrive 1tb cloud backup for files and photos and also Google photos.

Siguro kung uulitin I would have gone for 4 bay NAS and bought 2 harddisk, that way it's easy to add another 2. Maybe allocate 2tb per person, and more kung kasama movies and CCTV.
