WEB INTERFACE PART 2

The TVS-871U-RP has an HDMI video output so if you want you can connect it to your TV set (a bit loud for that but long HDMI cables do exist). However to do use KODI and several other programs/stations (you can choose which) from the comfort of your couch you will need to download these programs from the HybridDesk Station tab as seen above.

The NAS can also be used to backup files to and from it via the Backup Station.

You can also use it as a web server if you don’t have very large requirements (or if you do and have a static connection).

As always the File Station allows you to transfer files to and from the NAS and looks quite a bit like the Windows explorer.

Powerful systems like the TVS-871U-RP also allow you to use the Virtualization Station to load other operating systems.

By default the QTS has some applications/stations installed but you can install a lot more from within the App Center.

Via the Photo Station you can see and share all your pictures with other PCs and mobile devices.

With the Music Station you can stream and playback your entire music collection without switching to an external application.

You can use the Download Station for torrents or direct HTTP/FTP download (I do prefer rutorrent myself).

The Surveillance Station is quite interesting in the TVS-871U-RP mainly because you’re getting 4 licenses by default and you also get asked where the app should place the recordings in the drive.

However just like with previous models you will need to switch from UDP/UPnP to ONViF detection if your cameras support it (only 1 out of the 3 around the lab was detected with UDP/UPnP).

The rest of the tabs remain pretty much the same so once again you get various settings to choose from and of course the ability to add more camera licenses.
