QPKG APPLICATIONS

Although inside the QPKG screen you will find a large number of useful applications which you can download and install in the unit to install some of the most important and latest ones (XBMC/HD Station/YouTube/Chrome) you will need to download them from the QNAP support page and install them manually.

By default you can currently only use 1 IP camera with the Surveillance Station Pro and so if you want more you are required to purchase a separate license. QNAP currently supports a very large number of IP Camera manufacturers and even if the manufacturer of your IP cam is not listed you can still use compatible options like ONVIF.

The TV Station is a very useful application that allows you to watch Digital DVB-T channels through the NAS Server. However to use it you will need a compatible DVB-T USB Dongle.

With the Video Station you can upload your own video clips and make them available on the web for the whole world to see (without the limitations or benefits of YouTube).

The XBMC software allows you to watch your media library on your TV screen via HDMI much like many of the latest Android based Media Players do.

In order to use XBMC the way you should QNAP also sells a good quality remote control which you can use to navigate XBMC menus. The only downside is that it lacks button illumination for when used at night.
