Hi guys
New to the forum, been reading for a while but now signed up as I need some advice.

So far I have bought the following items:

Seagate SV35 2TB Surveillance Hard Drive
Phillips 1080p 23" LED Monitor (2x HDMI, 1 x VGA, MHL) 5ms

I was planning on buying the HP N40L and had been recommended Xpenology
However the cash back seems to have ended on the N40L and the price has jumped right up. The gen8 looks good but they don't seem to be offering any cashback on these yet. I don't have a massive budget so want to save money where I can.

I'm mainly going to be using the server or NAS to record several full HD IP cameras, I want it to backup my several tablets, iPhones and laptops and be able to stream movies and music from it to those devices. Ideally I don't want to be paying licence fees for cameras which has put me off something like the synology NAS. Any other ideas?

Any help gratefully received
 
I was under the impression, but I may be wrong that the HIKvision 3mp cameras for example are decentralised therefore they process the information on board the camera so the processor in the server would not be doing much?
