Let’s face it, video surveillance is a necessity
for many small businesses, especially retailers. Until recently, most video
surveillance solutions were beyond the reach of the channel and were relegated
to security specialists, but the power of IP has changed all of that. Simply
put, IP technology and surveillance technology go together like bread and
butter.

QNAP gives solution providers a taste of security
surveillance profits with its NVR series of
surveillance systems. Surprisingly, it’s a pretty simple recipe to combine
networking technology with video technology—it just takes a splash of storage,
topped with IP cameras and then mixed with the firmware to make it all work.

QNAP takes the recipe a little further by adding
Web access, Gigabit Ethernet and live two-way audio to create an easily
deployed and used security system that has a wide range of applications, from a
retail establishment to an apartment building complex.
