LenovoEMC designs products for small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford enterprise-class data storage. LenovoEMC rebranded all of Iomega's products under its name. In 2013, EMC formed a joint venture with Chinese technology company Lenovo, named LenovoEMC, that took over Iomega's business. The security camera feature of the StorCenter ix2 works better as a tool that keeps tab on kids, rather than as a surveillance system. We were able to view the live video on an iPhone via a Wi-Fi connection. The Web-based page for the camera also works well with the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Nonetheless, we tried it with an Axis network security camera, and it worked as intended.

The NAS server supports only one network camera at a time, and it can only record based on schedule, not motion detection, as found in the Synology DS107+. The security camera feature, however, was very limited. The media server and print server worked well during our tryout and were easy to set up, thanks to Iomega's well-organized and intuitive Web interface. Other features of the StorCenter include support for media servers (including UPnP, DLNA, and iTunes), a print server, and a security camera.
