QTS 4.3.4 PART 2

By default the TS-453Be-4G comes with 8 pre-installed apps.

Worth pointing out is that currently QNAP offers a total of 135 free apps for this specific model (lower-end models have less while higher-end models have even more).

Although the latest version of the File Station app (v5) is far more responsive than previous ones I still prefer mapping network locations since it’s a lot faster.

The MyQNAPCloud app (CloudLink is also part of this app) is among the most useful ones since it allows you to access your NAS from anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the internet. The entire process is automatic (you will need to register an account however) but you may be required to “dirty” your hands a bit if your modem/router is not compatible.

As clearly stated by its name via the Media Streaming Add-On you can stream media to different devices using DLNA, Airplay, Chromecast and HDMI (not a feature we used with this NAS).

Qsync Central allows you to have your files synced between all your devices as long as the app is loaded.

Cinema28 is among the latest apps by QNAP and what it basically does is to enable the end user to stream media files to multiple media devices that are connected to the NAS itself (you can also connect speakers and headsets via USB with the NAS).

The container station app allows you to operate multiple isolated Linux systems on a QNAP NAS (along with several other apps).

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

If you’re into Karaoke then the OceanKTV app is for you since it transforms the NAS into a Karaoke machine (uses YouTube for the songs).

Via Q’center you can access and manage a large number of QNAP NAS Servers a lot faster/efficiently than if you logged into each one.

Need be you can also run your very own proxy server by using the available app as seen above.

Via the new photo station you can see and share all your pictures with other systems and mobile devices.

Unfortunately the Virtualization Station app can’t run on the TS-453Be unless you install 8GB DDR3L RAM.

The Download Station is a handy tool which you can use to download files either via Torrent or direct HTTP/FTP download.

Qsirch is a new application which allows the end user to search for specific files inside the NAS at incredible speeds. It may not come in handy much for home use but for office use it could prove to be a valuable addition.

The Video Station app allows playback of media files (unfortunately it doesn’t support all media extensions).

If you have multiple email accounts and are looking for the most efficient way to check your emails the QmailAgent app by QNAP (email server) should have everything you need.

With malware becoming more dangerous each day that goes by QNAP recommends installing this Malware Remover app for increased system protection.

QVR Pro is an upgraded version of the classic Surveillance Station with a larger number of available IP camera models, extra camera spots and remote viewing (automatic detection still doesn’t work flawlessly but you can always add your IP camera models manually).
