eRacks/VNAS Video Surveillance NAS

ZFS, end to end. Every VNAS runs OpenZFS on an IT-mode HBA with ECC memory and surveillance-rated CMR drives, so a dropped bit never becomes lost evidence — every frame is checksummed and self-healing. Run TrueNAS SCALE or plain Linux + ZFS, your call.

Capture your way

Bring your own VMS — Frigate (real-time AI object detection), ZoneMinder, Shinobi, Viseron, Moonfire and more install cleanly, or skip the software entirely and serve the array as a raw NFS/iSCSI target behind your existing NVR. No vendor lock-in, no per-camera license.

Samba / SMBShares without surprises. SMB/CIFS via Samba, NFS, iSCSI, SFTP — mount the footage store anywhere on your network at 10 or 25GbE line rate.

NextcloudYour cloud, your footage. Add Nextcloud or ownCloud for off-box review and sharing — your video never has to leave your building or hit a subscription.

GNU/LinuxOpen all the way down. Ubuntu LTS or Debian, open-source storage and VMS, standard hardware you can service yourself. Built to order by eRacks — open-source experts since 1999.

The default configuration includes:

  • 8-bay (3U) hot-swap chassis — configurable to 16 / 36 / 60 / 105 bays
  • Surveillance-rated CMR drives (Seagate SkyHawk AI / WD Purple Pro)
  • ZFS on an IT-mode HBA + ECC DDR5
  • 2× 25GbE SFP28 networking
  • Your choice of capture software, or raw NFS/iSCSI
