Asustor Adds NAS Compatibility for Hikvision IP Cameras

ASUSTOR Inc. has completed an integration with IP camera brand Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd.

Over 100 Hikvision camera models are now verified as being compatible with ASUSTOR’s Surveillance Center, bringing a surveillance solution to the market.

“We are glad to have ASUSTOR as our integration partner,” said Keen Yao, international marketing director, Hikvision. “With the seamless integration of ASUSTOR’ NAS systems and Hikvision camera series, both parties will be able to provide versatile solutions for mutual customers, regardless of SME and professional applications. Besides, customers are also allowed to access a bevy of easy-to-use features, Smart features and much more from Hikvision cameras.“

“In addition to the need for a safe and stable storage system, high quality network IP cameras are also required when creating a comprehensive cloud surveillance system,” said James Su, product manager, ASUSTOR. “We are elated to be partnering with world renowned IP camera brand Hikvision in completing compatibility testing and verification for this integration. Now consumers will have even more flexibility and choice than ever before when creating a complete all-purpose surveillance solution.”

The Surveillance Center App was developed in-house by the company and comes with 4 free IP camera channel licenses, which is higher than the industry standard. For users that require additional camera channels, the newest version (2.1) supports add-on camera licenses that users can purchase to flexibly add new camera channels.

The latest version offers functionality including camera patrolling which lets users configure up to 5 different patrol paths with up to 20 preset points along with IVA (Intelligent Video Analytics) smart search which helps users to find critical events from amongst recorded video. With IVA smart search, users can configure a specific area (max. 3 areas), object size and level of sensitivity to search for times where any movement was detected.

Additionally, it provides cross-platform support, allowing both Windows and Mac users to use familiar web browsers to access their surveillance feeds. Furthermore, the company also offers the free AiSecure mobile app that gives users access to all their surveillance feeds while on the go. It also provides the ability to receive instant push notifications from Surveillance Center, allowing users to keep up with the latest developments.

Two different camera license packages are offered: single channel and 4 channels.

6 series devices can be expanded to a maximum of 12 channels while 3/2 series devices can be expanded up to a maximum of 8.
