Hello,
I just stumbled across today’s video on the Ubiquiti YouTube channel about UniFi Drive 3.0.
Ubiquiti offers a NAS and plans to add an Amazon S3 backup target later this year. I’m not sure if there will be an S3 compatible target.
For marketing purposes, maybe it would make sense to contact them to add Storj as a backup target even if there would be an S3 compatible option?
I shared this with the team, but to be honest, this is the first time I’ve heard of them and I’m not sure they have any significant market share.
Our current office’s network is handled by their devices, so was the office of my previous workplace. Both sysadmins huge fans of their hardware. Can’t be that unknown…
as a NAS? No, I personally never heard about this. As a network gears - sure, but NAS?
Of course my home ZyXel router can handle USB storage as a network target, so some kind of NAS, but it cannot be serious.
Ah, ok.
UniFI is very known network equipment provider in EU at least.
Yes, but the NASes too?
They’ve been making NVRs for ages. NAS is the logical continuation. It’s actrually a pretty good one too – runs BTRFs, and integrated into UniFi ecosystem.
Great idea Sembeth
I’d be great to be able to use StorJ directly for all video streams from security cameras. That application is close to copy/paste Vivent, but integrated tightly into the Unifi ecosystem.
Sure, the NAS is probably a growing for Ubiquity, but in the NVR they’re a very serious player
There is this old and huge thread that I have started
There I have been trying everything to convince Storj that the security industry with their needs to store camera streams of millions of cameras worldwide could be a great potential to seek partnerships from that industry.
If UniFi could be such a partner, I’m not sure, because they offer their own hardware storage solutions. I believe that Storj could partner mainly with suppliers of software NVR solutions.
Regarding UniFi, the option to back up to any S3-compatible storage has been requested in their community in the past. The demand for such solutions is definitely there and not only there.
Storj integration could start as a backup target, but with Object Mount, Storj storage might even be feasible as the primary storage target. With no cost for ingress it sounds like the perfect idea to store the camera streams directly off premise.
