Synology GmbH

Synology is a leading provider of data storage, protection, and management solutions for businesses and home users. The company is widely recognized for its NAS servers and a robust software ecosystem that enables secure file storage, backup and recovery, and private cloud services. Synology also delivers complete video surveillance solutions, combining recording, management, and video analytics within a single, unified platform.

Synology Surveillance Station is a professional VMS platform designed for building and operating IP surveillance systems. A key strength is its broad integration capabilities—Surveillance Station officially supports over 17,000 IP camera models and the ONVIF standard, making it ideal for multi-vendor environments and smooth upgrades of existing deployments.

Surveillance Station also features CMS (Centralized Management System), which enables centralized administration of multiple recording servers from one interface. With CMS, organizations can easily scale from a single site to distributed, multi-site deployments, while maintaining consistent management of cameras, users, permissions, and event monitoring.

As part of its surveillance portfolio, Synology also offers its own IP cameras, including the new BC800Z. This model adds advanced analytics such as smoke detection and license plate recognition (LPR), supporting use cases like facility security and vehicle access control.
