One Device for Surveillance Video, Network Attached Storage

The new combined solution from NETGEAR and Arcus Global Inc., makes it possible for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) — such as restaurants, small hotels, independent retailers and more — to meet their needs of physical security with minimal investment, effort and total ownership cost.

Smaller businesses have to wrestle with video surveillance scalability and data reliability just as large organizations do, but often find that current solutions are too difficult to install, too expensive to acquire, or have too few features and too little capacity.

Milestone Arcus on ReadyNAS is an IP video surveillance solution for SMBs. This scalable solution offers total protection of business assets and can be set up and in operation within minutes. The free downloadable app runs on all NETGEAR business-class ReadyNAS models, offering:

• Support for up to 100 high-definition high frame rate IP cameras, which can be easily expanded through the addition of NETGEAR Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches to provide power to those cameras at a distance;
• Highest storage capacity ranging from two to 60 bays, capable of handling continuous video recording from several weeks to over a year;
• Superior data retention with unique five levels of data protection against hardware failures and virus attacks, and hybrid remote NAS and cloud backup for multiple sites.

Business users enjoy premium video surveillance features such as automatic camera discovery, PTZ controls, motion detection, anywhere access to video feeds for live view and playback, and easy export for forensic evidence and investigation.

In addition to performing the video management functions, the ReadyNAS continues to operate as a standard network attached storage solution. Its full ReadyNAS OS feature set includes ReadyDR (disaster recovery) so businesses can meet the most stringent legal and commercial requirements for video data retention.

NETGEAR offers multiple hardware models of ReadyNAS  

Milestone Arcus on ReadyNAS is compatible with a wide selection of IP cameras in the market, numbering into the thousands. This includes the new NETGEAR FlexPower Wire-Free IP Camera (VNC4030), a wire-free, battery-powered ONVIF compliant camera, that's pictured above.
