Multi-site surveillance | Synology Inc.

Safety at scale

Distributed surveillance systems demand flexibility of deployment, easy expansion, and high reliability. Deliver these and much more by combining the scalability and reliability of Synology servers with our feature-rich suite of surveillance and video management tools.

ManagementConfigure, manage and deploy thousands of surveillance devices with ease.

MonitoringProtect your assets efficiently with intelligent analytics and automatic alerts.

SecurityEnsure privacy with advanced safeguards and granular user permission settings.

Data protectionKeep your surveillance operational and protect footage when disaster strikes.

Seamless management

Deployments that cover large areas or many sites demand powerful tools for remote batch configuration and troubleshooting of surveillance devices.

Central console

With Surveillance Station Centralized Management System (CMS) and other solutions, Surveillance Station makes it easy to deploy and manage hundreds of recording servers and thousands of IP cameras.Learn more

Flexible integration

Surveillance Station offers full integration with Windows Active Directory (AD) or LDAP, enabling surveillance system access and permissions management using AD or LDAP accounts.Learn more

Batch deployment

The automatic installation wizards in Surveillance Station support batch deployment of cameras by using default credentials, importing prepopulated spreadsheets, or copying settings from existing IP cameras.

Remote updates

Surveillance Station CMS offers centrally managed remote update options for online and offline recording servers, simplifying the process while also ensuring software compatibility between servers.

Intuitive monitoring

A full set of advanced monitoring features and automations can help security staff maintain awareness of potential threats even when not on site.

Intuitive and powerful tools

Flexible and customizable interfaces are key in enabling on-site and remote teams to effectively keep on-premises security in check at all times.

Flexible dashboard

Create a monitoring dashboard that fits your needs by freely arranging, resizing, and swapping video feeds. Go for a TV wall-like experience by displaying up to 100 camera channels at once.Learn more

Alerting capabilities

Integration with online map providers Google Maps and OpenStreetMap enables precise geolocation of detected events for shorter reaction times in case of potential security events.Learn more

Built-in security

Protect your footage at all times—from inception to archival—using integrated safeguards based on industry-standard transmission and encryption protocols, including AES-256.Learn more

Encrypted video streamsProtect privacy with support for HTTPS and SRTP-enabled IP cameras that secure video streams on their way to the recording server.

Secure connectionsEncrypted HTTPS communication shields all connections between host servers and the Surveillance Station Client, web portal, and mobile apps.

Recording encryptionUse different sets of encryption keys for footage to prevent unauthorized access to recordings in case the server or administrative credentials are compromised.

Keeping unauthorized access at bay

The ability to assign varying privileges based on each team’s role increases control and flexibility while ensuring high security standards.

Powerful delegation settings

Assign recording servers to specific teams, making sure that each can only access footage from their assigned areas.

Granular privileges

Configure individual privilege profiles for each team member to clearly define responsibilities and lower the risk of data breaches.Learn more

Secure authentication

Enforce secure access methods with multi-factor authentication (MFA) or hardware security keys.Learn more

Ensuring data and service availability

Built-in safeguards are crucial to protect people and assets in case primary surveillance servers or infrastructure become unavailable.

Failover solutions

N+M failover allows flexible, automatic, or manual transfer of all cameras and settings to other servers in the deployment in the event an outage occurs with the primary server. Pair a dedicated failover server with multiple recording servers or assign multiple failover destinations for each recording server.Learn more

Flexible offsite archiving

One-to-one or one-to-many archival tasks can help retain larger volumes of recordings and minimize the risk of data loss by creating one or several offsite backup destinations. Configurable schedules and bandwidth limits help prevent backup tasks from impacting operations.Learn more

Dual recording

Record camera feeds to two locations simultaneously and retain access to critical footage from a secondary system should the primary server become inaccessible. Use a second Synology server or secure cloud recording with Synology C2 Backup for Surveillance for easy online playback and sharing.
