Our DS416j will be used as a Surveillance Station, for cameras, we will use two Amcrest 1080P PAN/TILT WI-FI Pro/HD Cameras. AMCREST 1080P PAN/TILT WI-FI Pro/HD Camera We spot the processor heatsink which is more than adequate for cooling the low-power Marvell Armada 388 Dual Core processor. Here we have pulled out several hard drive trays to get a look at the processor board underneath. They cannot be removed by a simple locking lever at the front. Synology has enclosed the drives which make for a more secure unit. Our sample unit came with two drives pre-installed in the top two bays.Д®ach drive bay can accommodate either a 3.5inch or 2.5inch hard drive or solid state drive up to 10TB in size for a total of up to 40TB raw capacity. Once the screws are removed, the drive tray will slide out. Two screws on both sides of the hard drive tray secure them in place. The case itself will lift off to gain access to the drive bay. Synology DS416j OpenДЄfter removing the four screws the back plate will fold down, this plate has the fans attached.

Let us move on to see how to install hard drives into our unit. Four screws secure the case to the base which you can spot bracketing in the case fans. We also find a reset button on the right side of the USB 3.0 (Blue) port. The two large 92mm cooling fans take up the bulk of the space. Nothing is worse than having cameras but having the recorded footage get swiped during a break-in. There is a security port to lock the unit down at a location as well. The back of the NAS has 1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0 ports, 1x RJ-45 1GbE LAN Port and power connector. The vents also provide ventilation for the NAS which will help in cooling. Looking at the side, weВ find the hallmark Synology Logo which is on both sides of the case. Looking at the front, we find a silver power button in the middle and status LEDs on either side. On the other hand, it is just what one may need for storing IP camera video. The Synology DiskStation DS416j is not the highest-end NAS that the company offers. The enclosure of the DS416j is made of metal and plastic which gives a solid enough feel to the NAS.

3x packaged of assorted hard drive mounting screwsДЄfter removing the DS416j from its packing material, we can now take a look at the NAS.

Power via PoE, outlets or other sources.A wired or WiFi network to provide camera to NAS connectivity.A software solution to manage cameras and adjust pan/ tilt/ zoom (PTZ) features.

A NAS to provide storage for the cameras so that footage can be reviewed later.Cameras to cover critical areas of a home/ office.Generally, components of home surveillance solutions are: Even keeping an eye on your baby in its room sleeping while you are busy around the house. Other areas of your house can also benefit from monitoring such as the entrance to the back yard. More and more people are using online retailers to purchase gifts at this time of year, these often get delivered at random times throughout the day and left on your front doorstep making a tempting target for thieves. The need to monitor areas of a typical household are increasing. Compared to the DS216j it offers higher storage capacity for a modest increase in price. The DS416j does not sport as many features as the DS916+, which lowers the price point of the package. The DS416j is a more budget friendly solution that can handle four hard drives for increased storage capacity. Today in the lab we have a Synology DS416j 4 Bay NAS to review with a twist, we are going to do so alongside two Amcrest 1080P surveillance cameras and two Seagate IronWolf hard drives.
