May be you can use a piece of prism. If you cover the sensor with a thick piece of small transparent acrylic cut like a cube (say, about 5 milimeters thick) and cover the top side (or the side facing to Street light) with electric tape or dark colored nail polish, the remaining faces will still...

In my router, ftp not directly opens to write-permitted directory, but to root. If camera Ftp setup page dont allow setting of initial working directory also, you can't write anything to default directory, "root".

It would be really nice to see realtime super resolution processing. http://photoacute.com/tech/superresolution_faq.html

I think analytic abilities are related to processing power also. What I particularly need is, to be able to adjust motion sensitivity at different levels, for different sections of viewing area.

I am hoping the same. Although I have no idea what else qnap provides to deserve such a big name like "surveillance station", other than realtime monitoring and record viewing.

What do you think about this model? Its in qnap compatibility list, too. But I think its only 2x zoom. DS-2DE2202-DE3/W

I am aware of that, but I simply could not locate another model having all these features, including NAS support, with such a small price.

Ok, instead of suffering continuously, decided to suffer big once and bit the bullet. Ordered a TS-431+, will return 212P. For the camera, I decided to buy the one advised by @spixel above. Cost is about 70-80 range, have all the features I need, but language is chinese :( Is there any custom...

Also, I couldn't see NAS compatibility in its pdf brochure, are there any others indications for NAS ability?

Problem is, its price becomes more and more closer to a Laptop, with a freeNAS or something similar :)

Thanks for the detailed answer, Then, do 431+ have the LVM and other "good to have" features?

Wow, I was not aware about the role of ram in Nas. So what would you choose as minimum among qnap models?

I somehow managed to delete my last message. Anyway, if we face with chinese letters only in web interface, it might not be that big problem, although I dont know where else chinese appears in normal use.
