DocsNAS Connector
NAS Connector
The NAS Connector lets Deepgrip work against video libraries stored on your own hardware — Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, a Linux fileserver, a Windows share, or an S3-compatible object store. A small agent runs on (or near) your storage. Deepgrip's cloud talks to the agent via outbound HTTPS long-poll, so you don't open any inbound ports.
What you get
- Catalog mode: Index 50 TB+ of video in minutes. Metadata only, no uploads.
- Selective ingest: Pick folders or individual videos to process through the AI pipeline.
- Auto-archive: Move old cloud videos to NAS on age or storage-quota policies — they stay queryable.
- Lazy retrieval: When a user chats about a NAS-only video, we stream bytes on demand.
- One-click restore: Pull a NAS video back into cloud for full processing any time.

The agent runs as a system service. Outbound 443 is the only connectivity requirement.
