Through the convenient and multitasking web interface, you can set up your cameras, archive and consult past recordings, manage user permissions, or even interface with analog devices such as door controllers. Since Surveillance Station is easy to set up and manage, you can reduce costs by installing everything by yourself and avoid getting any third parties involved.

Since all those devices have all been integrated and supported on the Surveillance Station, compatibility is guaranteed. Surveillance Station also supports video server, and if you already own many existing analog cameras, there will be no need to purchase new ones, helping you to down-size your deployment costs.

You can also add E-Map to help quickly understand the environment. With its sequential camera display feature, you can pick and choose which camera will be periodically displayed to efficiently monitor low priority area without spending too much time.

Schedule and playback your recordings anytime

Recording too many redundant things that devour your storage space? Surveillance Station provides a tool to schedule your recordings to start and end at a specific time or according to other criteria, allowing you to precisely document only the crucial events using motion detection instead of simply continuously recording everything. You can avoid meaningless recordings taking up storage space and cut-down on the expense of buying more hard drives.

Notifications keep you alert

Surveillance Station acts as a watchdog, intelligently guarding your surroundings and keeping everything safe and sound. If someone enters your premises, you can be alerted in a variety of ways. Or if a camera and drives carrying all your recordings has been diagnosed for potential failure, notifications will be sent directly to your email or smartphone as a precaution. You can also receive snapshots of recordings through email if enabled.

Protect your recordings without cost

There is always a risk that a drive containing essential recordings might fail. To prevent unrecoverable permanent loss of recordings, Synology provides models with two or more hard drive bays, along with NVR216, where Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) storage technology automatically mirrors your recordings on more than one drives to keep data accessible even if your hard drive fails. RAID technologies are usually available only for advanced and costly NVR, but Synology, leveraging its long storage expertise, provides it free of cost on all available models.
