Over three days this week in August 2024, Synology showcased their latest advancements in on-premise and cloud surveillance solutions, addressing the critical surveillance needs of businesses today.
“Since the launch of Surveillance Station in 2009, Synology has protected physical assets at over 515,000 sites across industries worldwide. We’ve recognised exponential growth in the surveillance market in Australia, especially the demand for scalable storage and AI-integrated applications,” said Joshua Orren Hermawan, ANZ Country Manager of Synology. “With Synology’s expertise in offering scalable and intelligent solutions, we are very pleased to participate in the Security Exhibition and introduce tailored features that cater to these requirements.”
I got talking to the team at the stand and Synology is taking some exciting directions with this product line up. There is a new focus on the ANZ market and the showcased solutions highlights smart surveillance with AI capabilities, scalable systems for large-scale deployment, and the upcoming direct-to-cloud VSaaS solution, all aimed at significantly improving the security and efficiency of enterprise surveillance systems.
AI-Powered Surveillance Solutions for Management Efficiency
With the combination of on-camera and server-based AI capabilities, Synology provides users with timely and accurate alerts, enabling faster incident response. Features including Intrusion Detection, Instant Search, License Plate and Facial Recognition allow users to more reliably identify potential threats, quickly track down and retrieve relevant footage, and optimise business operations with smart automation.
Scalable Surveillance for Long-Term Recording and Multi-Site Monitoring
Synology will exhibit a variety of enterprise-grade storage servers, ranging from small servers suitable for branch offices to PB-level large-capacity servers for archiving video files at headquarters. These solutions meet retention policies without interrupting daily operations. With the Centralised Management System (CMS) software, up to 10,000 cameras from 1,000 sites can be recorded and managed on a single portal, enabling seamless cross-site management.
Direct-to-Cloud Video Surveillance as a Service
Expanding Synology’s surveillance ecosystem, Synology will showcase the upcoming C2 Surveillance Station and a companion lineup of C2 cameras. This upcoming offering enables new deployment possibilities with secure cloud video surveillance. C2 cameras deploy in mere minutes, making it fast and simple to monitor challenging environments where installing local recording servers is not feasible.
Synology is shifting much of the smarts onto the cameras and reducing the reliance on the DiskStation and DVA line to perform some of the AI tasks, with a view to having the cameras being being fully AI integrated in the future.
There are definitely some exciting times ahead for Synology.
