QNAP® Systems, Inc. (QNAP) today announced the lifecycle policy of Surveillance Station.

Surveillance Station’s lifecycle policy is divided into three phases:

1. QNAP NAS models released from 2021 onwards will not support Surveillance Station.
2. Surveillance Station licenses will no longer be available from the QNAP Software Store from August 1, 2021.
3. Future updates and support for Surveillance Station will follow the Product Support Status for individual devices.

Those looking to upgrade their surveillance solution can consider next-generation solutions from QNAP. These include QVR Pro, which supports up to 128 camera channels and can be integrated with QVR Face smart facial recognition (license purchase required), or the subscription-based QVR Elite to have up to 192 camera channels with subscription fees starting from only US $1.99 per month. Users can centrally manage all QNAP surveillance servers, including Surveillance Station, QVR Pro and QVR Elite servers with QVR Center. (Note: The maximum number of channels supported varies by NAS model, network configuration, and camera settings.)

To allow a smooth migration to next-generation surveillance applications, QNAP is offering Surveillance Station users with free QVR Elite 3-year licenses. Surveillance Station users can check if they are entitled to these free licenses on the event page: http://www.qnap.com/go/event/2021/qvr-elite-redemption.
