*******************What model cameras and dvr?
Yes, Amazon would be about twice that of sellers on Aliexpress.Your NVR of choice is now running a little more than twice that much from Amazon.
OK, so you are in the position of having to safely backup the entire QNAP and start the setup from scratch to gain access to the LVM capabilities. Quite a scary prospect, but with a good end-point.I am looking at relocating data for better organization purposes and after that project is completed, the logical storage pool may be the ideal answer.
***************$90 for shipping is certainly expensive.
This is the last NVR that I bought: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hikv...3MP-1000M-Engineering-project/2041536563.html

But if you do decide to do that, may be best to wait a month or so until the new QTS 4.2 is out, which adds volume snapshots to LVM, but which does require an initialise / full reinstall to make use of.
Your DVR would have to be offering out encoded video streams in order to be able to use another device such as an NVR or QNAP Surveillance Station to also record them in another location.Not sure how I would make an NVR like this work with my analog system

I have no idea if your specific DVR does that - maybe others can comment - but if like many Hikvision NVRs, the DVR has good ONVIF support, you might be able to query it's capabilities using the 'ONVIF Device Manager' tool as per my earlier post in this thread. If it does offer 'receivers' then it opens up some possibilities.
Surveillance Station on the QNAP NAS could record any offered RTSP video streams, and has the ability to manage the maximum disc space used or the length of time recordings are kept.
But at $60 per extra channel licence over the base 2 that can be expensive.
Well that's a pity. It might have been an interesting facility to make use of for your recording duplication.No receivers found at DVR IP address.
