Note that ultimately, the more video streams you add, and the slower each of them will get. The Iomega Video Surveillance app with two Axis and one DLINK webcams This is a fairly cool solution for a large size home or business as the video streams are fairly fast on a local network. Once connected, the cameras can be previewed in a “wall”, which has ample room for at least a dozen cameras (on my screen). You can choose where video feeds will be recorded and how often recordings should be rotated to conserve disk space.

Once the cameras have been connected, they can then be added to the ix2 management and recording system in a snap: just enter the IP address and make/model and admin password of each device and the ix2 does the rest. This is not very difficult to the initiated, assigning static IP addresses can be daunting for users not familiar with TCP/IP lingo because they may need to know what the current network address range is, and what an IP mask is, etc… Anyhow, it’s nothing impossible with a little research, but I want to properly set the expectations. If there is a general reboot, they keep the same IP I recommend using static IPs for the cameras. Cameras used for this test: two Axis M1031W and one DLink 930 ( warning, the DLINK 930 can be viewed in the video wall, but the video stream doesn’t appear to be compatible with the ix2 video recording).Īlthough using DHCP is the simple solution to get the ball rolling, I typically recommend using a static IP address for each camera, because if your camera reboots or if you router restart, there is a chance that the cameras may be assigned with a different IP, which would then be an issue as most software, including the ix2 internal camera management, rely on an IP address to identify the camera on the network. Configuration basically means adding the camera to the local network, and assign an IP. You have to keep in mind that each modern surveillance camera is a self-contained system with an internal web server that needs to be configured on its own. Setting up the cameras is initially not done in the Iomega ix2 management interface. Also, the user interface is friendlier than most networked devices that I have used as of late. Once inside, you will see a flurry of options as the Iomega ix2 does have quite a lot of features – It’s impressive. I really like the convenient http:\\ix2 URL to enter the administration area. From there, I was able to verify that the unit worked fine and that it was probably an external problem on the network.
#IOMEGA STORCENTER IX2 SUPPORT PC#
I was able to debug the problem easily by connecting the Iomega ix2 directly to my PC (via Ethernet).

I bumped into an issue at the office where the unit would not appear when connected to one of our Network switch (a Netgear GS108).

I’ve tested it under Windows, but it should work similarly on Mac OS.
#IOMEGA STORCENTER IX2 SUPPORT SOFTWARE#
Upon installing the Iomega ix2 manager software, you should see the device in the management interface, and the ix2 software should have created network drives to the different locations on the device (movies, documents, etc…). Out of the box, it is programmed to get its IP from a DHCP server which is what most home routers do: when you connect a new network device, the router will give it a new IP (internet protocol) address and let it join the local network. Setting-up the device is relatively easy. This can take a while, so just be patient and wait until the HDD LED stops blinking, or just plug and go to lunch. Our ix2-dl unit arrived “bare” (no drives), so we inserted two identical 3.5” drives and after turning the unit ON for the first time, the ix2 will initialize the disks in RAID 0. Gigabit Ethernet is included too.Cooling fan in the back Iomega ix2-dl Setup

Iomega has also included three USB 2.0 ports which can communicate with printers, external HDDs and even Bluetooth dongles. Internally, the ix2-200 houses a 1GHz Marvell 6281 CPU and 256MB of memory to handle server operations and manage the two 3.5in Sata bays which allow for a maximum of 4TB of storage. But this much storage doesn't need to be portable. Well, perhaps not, but the black aluminium housing would certainly look the part strapped under the wing of an F-22 Raptor and, given its weight - 2.3kg - would probably have a similar effect as the ordnance it would have replaced. It’s not listed on the feature set, but the ix2-200 seems likely to be bombproof. While most other Network Attached Storage (Nas) manufacturers are trying to conserve materials and so build their boxes as light as possible, Iomega has brought out the heavy armour and constructed a contender for the battlefield.
