Buy Surveillance Camera Set

The Synology Surveillance Station software is the best security camera software we have used, having tried two before this. It is more costly having to buy licenses for each camera you want to use but at least the licenses are transferrable between hardware upgrades and not bound to a specific camera's MAC Address or hardware. The software is very smooth and easy to use with advanced feature available if needed. It has otherwise been very plug-n-play switching over.

We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.

It works excellent as a surveillance camera for a remote water trough I am using it on. I can set how many pictures maximum i get per day. I have been using the camera for 3 weeks now and it has been trouble free other then a switch on the app turned off for some unknown reason and i wasn’t getting pics sent to my phone for one day until i figured it out. Saves me a lot of time and money driving back and forth to check on it. I would be interested in becoming a dealer for you.

This is exactly what I needed to get my old surveillance camera back up and running. Thanks.

Surveillance Station is a big upgrade from my 10 year old system...and all I had to do to enable it was buy this license and connect my existing cameras up. Very nice.

I'm using it for concerts, where it improves footage that previously looked more like a surveillance camera!

This product was a great buy. The picture quality is clear and gives a wide view which covers the surveillance area well.

Can not ask anything better than this. Work perfect with my desktop and my camera surveillance system 2 in 1 monitor

I am using this product in my surveillance camera box and i am most happy with it .I think it dose the job better than the green one that was in the box before.

This very flexible remote allows the camera to make images with you at the controls or in your absence. It is excellent for remote surveillance.
