About
The windows installer for the QNAP NAS requires a lot of steps that are unnecessary and for some complex. It is also missing a number of features to integrate fully into the QTS Desktop, and provide startup/shutdown routines, etc.
Thus I started up a quick project with the purpose to build a proper QPKG installer for QNAP to allow easy deployment of the DVR engine to QNAP users NAS boxes, while also adding some additional UI features to allow simpler configuration and status information of the DVR Engine. I'm making unofficial builds with the DVR engine included available via my various mechanisms shared above.
Thankfully @Nickk set up a silicondust DVR installer project on github and I've contributed my QDK project to build that QNAP installer in the qnap subfolder
