I was recently given a whole bunch of hard drives that have been smashed. Among the things given was this four bay NetGear Cloud storage device. It has four bays for hard drives, three USB ports, what looks like two ether net ports, a power button and a backup button. I don't know if it works. If it works - I probably don't know the password for it.
What I'd like to do is get some big hard drives (storage wise) and set this up as a backup for my security camera system. Like I said this is probably way over my head, but I'd like to set it up and use it when I want to back up video. I can always pull the hard drive and take it to the local police department and allow them to view the video captured. That would be a whole lot easier than trying to download videos to a thumb drive (USB) and move it to either my computer or the local authorities computers.
Can anyone help me? Advise me? Should I give up now or make a stab at it?
