I bought this to run Blue Iris software for my WiFi cameras . I added a an additional Western Digital 1TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive for a continuous recording of 1 camera. The other 5 only record when triggered.This has been running since May 2020 with no problems. I have it connected to my 50" plasma TV to look at the cameras live and to watch the recordings.It also FTPs to an off site storage every so often. Great for the money!
