• Synology Surveillance Software

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of personal hosting solutions. With data breaches occurring at an ever-increasing rate, having control of your own data is the best solution, and doubly so if you only need to access it from your own home. That's why I love on-site NAS solutions from companies like,, and. While these devices are great at storage and offer excellent performance, many of them also offer a great ecosystem of apps that can be installed and managed, extending functionality well past simple storage. Today I'll take a look at Synology's Surveillance Station, a tool that lets you merge multiple IP cameras into a single interface. Surveillance Station has been around for a while, but Synology has recently upgraded it to version 8.0. Arguably one of the best new 'features' of the upgraded version is that there is now a dedicated desktop application that you can install instead of having to use the system through a web browser.

While using a browser is great in a lot of situations, being able to have a custom made tool for the job can frequently be a better solution. So let's take a look at whether Surveillance Station is a product that can meet your needs. Installation For the review, Synology lent me and two.

The flexibility of Surveillance Station lets you use practically any Synology NAS and hundreds of different IP-based cameras, so you aren't tied to this combination at all. In fact, that helps you decide which NAS device will work best for your situation, depending on how many video streams you'll be recording, how many days of recording you need, and some other factors. Unlike other reviews, I'm not going to go into the performance of the DS416j right now, although if there's interest I might do a full NAS review in the future. In order to get started, you have to install Surveillance Station on your Synology NAS device. Just like any other package, DSM makes this process simple. Login to the NAS, go to the Package Center, and you'll find it under the list of 'Recommended' packages.

Avenir light free font download. After Surveillance Station is up and running, there are two ways to access it: via the DSM application itself, or via a desktop application. While the former is easier, I found there were many issues that I was unable to resolve, the most important of which is the fact that I was unable to actually play video, regardless of whether I was using Edge, Firefox, or Chrome. Therefore I'd highly recommend sticking to the desktop application.

This is one area where Synology could make things a little clearer for the end user. Aside from downloading the Synology Assistant, I've rarely had a reason to go to the company's support site to download anything else. Unfortunately, after installing Surveillance Station, there's no indication that a desktop client even exists. Considering the fact that the program is completely new and the web version doesn't really work well, I'd think this should be more prominently explained to the user. There are versions of the client available for both Windows and Mac (sorry Linux users), and the installation is a basic wizard that's easy to get through. Once it's complete, you're presented with three icons: Surveillance Station Client, Live View, and Timeline.

The main client gives you a desktop that has a similar look and feel to DSM, but includes a different set of functionality from the core OS. The other two icons just let you jump directly to a feature without needing the Surveillance Station desktop, useful if you want to put the Live View on a separate monitor by itself, for example. Configuration Now that you have the software installed, you can move onto installing your IP camera and configuring the Surveillance Station to work as you want it to, all of which is just as easy as installing the package itself. Initial setup of the IP camera will depend upon the make and model you're using, but once it's configured, adding it into Surveillance Station is simple and easy to do and then you'll never have to use the interfaces of the various camera vendors.
