Synology Surveillance Station is AWESOME

Until rather recently, I have been using Until rather recently, I have been using these. This is a Wyze camera. From a these. This is a Wyze camera. From a these. This is a Wyze camera. From a hardware perspective, this thing is hardware perspective, this thing is hardware perspective, this thing is awesome, but from the software awesome, but from the software awesome, but from the software perspective, eh. For these things to perspective, eh. For these things to perspective, eh. For these things to store content, you either have to store content, you either have to store content, you either have to completely rely on the onboard SD card completely rely on the onboard SD card completely rely on the onboard SD card or the Wyze cloud subscription service. or the Wyze cloud subscription service. or the Wyze cloud subscription service. At $2 a month, that's not a bad price, At $2 a month, that's not a bad price, At $2 a month, that's not a bad price, but that is $2 a month forever as long but that is $2 a month forever as long but that is $2 a month forever as long as you plan on using these cameras. And as you plan on using these cameras. And as you plan on using these cameras. And personally, my main issue with these is personally, my main issue with these is personally, my main issue with these is there's not really a way to use these as there's not really a way to use these as there's not really a way to use these as IP cameras, at least any way that's IP cameras, at least any way that's IP cameras, at least any way that's currently being updated and supported. currently being updated and supported. currently being updated and supported. And because of that, I'm going to be And because of that, I'm going to be And because of that, I'm going to be tossing out the Wyze cameras and tossing out the Wyze cameras and tossing out the Wyze cameras and switching over to these guys. These are switching over to these guys. These are switching over to these guys. These are indoor 1080p cameras, and they're indoor 1080p cameras, and they're indoor 1080p cameras, and they're basically function in all the the exact basically function in all the the exact basically function in all the the exact same way as the rotating Wyze camera, same way as the rotating Wyze camera, same way as the rotating Wyze camera, except there is a key feature of this, except there is a key feature of this, except there is a key feature of this, and that is you can connect it either and that is you can connect it either and that is you can connect it either via Wi-Fi or internet. In the box here, via Wi-Fi or internet. In the box here, via Wi-Fi or internet. In the box here, of course, we have our manuals and of course, we have our manuals and of course, we have our manuals and guides. And then we can slide out the guides. And then we can slide out the guides. And then we can slide out the actual camera here. Overall, the form actual camera here. Overall, the form actual camera here. Overall, the form factor is really nice. You can see right factor is really nice. You can see right factor is really nice. You can see right there on the back the internet. We have there on the back the internet. We have there on the back the internet. We have a micro, I think, micro USB, a button to a micro, I think, micro USB, a button to a micro, I think, micro USB, a button to go ahead and reset it, speaker, go ahead and reset it, speaker, go ahead and reset it, speaker, microphone, two-way audio, kind of microphone, two-way audio, kind of microphone, two-way audio, kind of important for my use case. There is a important for my use case. There is a important for my use case. There is a place to put a little a microSD card, place to put a little a microSD card, place to put a little a microSD card, which is handy. And then, of course, in which is handy. And then, of course, in which is handy. And then, of course, in here, we have an internet cable if you here, we have an internet cable if you here, we have an internet cable if you do plan on using that. And then we have do plan on using that. And then we have do plan on using that. And then we have a mounting bracket. So, overall, the a mounting bracket. So, overall, the a mounting bracket. So, overall, the hardware's pretty good. These things are hardware's pretty good. These things are hardware's pretty good. These things are relatively affordable, but there's a relatively affordable, but there's a relatively affordable, but there's a whole bunch of different IP cameras on whole bunch of different IP cameras on whole bunch of different IP cameras on the market that you could go ahead and the market that you could go ahead and the market that you could go ahead and grab. This is not what is super grab. This is not what is super grab. This is not what is super important. What's actually important is

important. What's actually important is important. What's actually important is the software that I'm going to be the software that I'm going to be the software that I'm going to be connecting all these cameras to, where I connecting all these cameras to, where I connecting all these cameras to, where I can then host all the media that they're can then host all the media that they're can then host all the media that they're going to collect and use some features going to collect and use some features going to collect and use some features such as motion tracking and things like such as motion tracking and things like such as motion tracking and things like that. All of the features that I was that. All of the features that I was that. All of the features that I was getting with those Wyze cameras and so getting with those Wyze cameras and so getting with those Wyze cameras and so much more. And for that, I'm going to be much more. And for that, I'm going to be much more. And for that, I'm going to be using hardware that I already have. This using hardware that I already have. This using hardware that I already have. This right here is my dashboard for Synology. right here is my dashboard for Synology. right here is my dashboard for Synology. Uh initially, I did not even know that Uh initially, I did not even know that Uh initially, I did not even know that this application was in here until I this application was in here until I this application was in here until I clicked on this and started kind of clicked on this and started kind of clicked on this and started kind of checking everything out. This is checking everything out. This is checking everything out. This is Surveillance Station and it is right Surveillance Station and it is right Surveillance Station and it is right here. An absolutely beautiful little here. An absolutely beautiful little here. An absolutely beautiful little dashboard looks kind of like a desktop dashboard looks kind of like a desktop dashboard looks kind of like a desktop where I can manage all my IP cameras, where I can manage all my IP cameras, where I can manage all my IP cameras, monitor them, check out all the various monitor them, check out all the various monitor them, check out all the various features and things like that. Now, of features and things like that. Now, of features and things like that. Now, of course, if you don't already have a course, if you don't already have a course, if you don't already have a Synology NAS, this might not be an Synology NAS, this might not be an Synology NAS, this might not be an option for you. Getting a Synology NAS option for you. Getting a Synology NAS option for you. Getting a Synology NAS to me is worth it. It's what I've been to me is worth it. It's what I've been to me is worth it. It's what I've been using for quite a while for much more using for quite a while for much more using for quite a while for much more than just this. Primarily, I use it for than just this. Primarily, I use it for than just this. Primarily, I use it for Of course, file station type storage. I Of course, file station type storage. I Of course, file station type storage. I have a virtual machine manager on here have a virtual machine manager on here have a virtual machine manager on here where I can connect to a VM remotely and where I can connect to a VM remotely and where I can connect to a VM remotely and I have Docker up and running with a few I have Docker up and running with a few I have Docker up and running with a few different containers and services. But different containers and services. But different containers and services. But all that aside, let's go to Surveillance all that aside, let's go to Surveillance all that aside, let's go to Surveillance Station here. And if I go over to IP Station here. And if I go over to IP Station here. And if I go over to IP camera, you can see I already have camera, you can see I already have camera, you can see I already have everything basically set up and it is everything basically set up and it is everything basically set up and it is important to note this is not a free and important to note this is not a free and important to note this is not a free and open source solution.

open source solution. open source solution. The all Synology machines come with the The all Synology machines come with the The all Synology machines come with the two licenses and if you get camera or two licenses and if you get camera or two licenses and if you get camera or any more cameras, you're going to have any more cameras, you're going to have any more cameras, you're going to have to get a license for it. Now, I know one to get a license for it. Now, I know one to get a license for it. Now, I know one of my main points is I don't really want of my main points is I don't really want of my main points is I don't really want to be paying a subscription service for to be paying a subscription service for to be paying a subscription service for something. This isn't a subscription, something. This isn't a subscription, something. This isn't a subscription, it's a perpetual license that you can it's a perpetual license that you can it's a perpetual license that you can buy. Which per camera seems to be right buy. Which per camera seems to be right buy. Which per camera seems to be right about 50 bucks or so. And you do kind of about 50 bucks or so. And you do kind of about 50 bucks or so. And you do kind of get what you pay for in the sense that get what you pay for in the sense that get what you pay for in the sense that this isn't just some this isn't just some this isn't just some open source solution. This is commercial open source solution. This is commercial open source solution. This is commercial grade software that you can use in your grade software that you can use in your grade software that you can use in your businesses, corporations. You can set up businesses, corporations. You can set up businesses, corporations. You can set up offsite cameras and connect everything offsite cameras and connect everything offsite cameras and connect everything in here. You'll see all that when I kind in here. You'll see all that when I kind in here. You'll see all that when I kind of dive through some of the settings. of dive through some of the settings. of dive through some of the settings. First, I'm going to quickly walk through First, I'm going to quickly walk through First, I'm going to quickly walk through some older footage of me uh setting up some older footage of me uh setting up some older footage of me uh setting up the third camera with the license. And the third camera with the license. And the third camera with the license. And now on this application, I'm going to go now on this application, I'm going to go now on this application, I'm going to go ahead and open it up and you can see I ahead and open it up and you can see I ahead and open it up and you can see I already have two devices connected, already have two devices connected, already have two devices connected, patio and kids. This is going to be our patio and kids. This is going to be our patio and kids. This is going to be our living room cam. So, I just need to do living room cam. So, I just need to do living room cam. So, I just need to do add device. We're going to add this via add device. We're going to add this via add device. We're going to add this via Wi-Fi and we're going to do the Wi-Fi Wi-Fi and we're going to do the Wi-Fi Wi-Fi and we're going to do the Wi-Fi configuration setup as a new device. I'm configuration setup as a new device. I'm configuration setup as a new device. I'm going to give it permission because that going to give it permission because that going to give it permission because that is going to allow us to scan the QR is going to allow us to scan the QR is going to allow us to scan the QR code. So, that's the serial number. Now, code. So, that's the serial number. Now, code. So, that's the serial number. Now, it's going to admit like a sound to try it's going to admit like a sound to try it's going to admit like a sound to try to connect. So, I'm going to hit next.

to connect. So, I'm going to hit next. to connect. So, I'm going to hit next. Here, we're going to give it a name. So, Here, we're going to give it a name. So, Here, we're going to give it a name. So, living room it should be fine. And here living room it should be fine. And here living room it should be fine. And here I've noticed previously setting this up I've noticed previously setting this up I've noticed previously setting this up trying to set your credentials now, it's trying to set your credentials now, it's trying to set your credentials now, it's going to give me issues. Right here, going to give me issues. Right here, going to give me issues. Right here, we're going to put in our Wi-Fi password we're going to put in our Wi-Fi password we're going to put in our Wi-Fi password because it's going to use that to because it's going to use that to because it's going to use that to connect. Here we go. So, let's go next. connect. Here we go. So, let's go next. connect. Here we go. So, let's go next. And now you can see that it has And now you can see that it has And now you can see that it has successfully connected so we can start successfully connected so we can start successfully connected so we can start the live view. And here is where I was the live view. And here is where I was the live view. And here is where I was talking about that it's going to want us talking about that it's going to want us talking about that it's going to want us to actually change your password. Admin to actually change your password. Admin to actually change your password. Admin admin isn't really the most secure admin isn't really the most secure admin isn't really the most secure setup. There we go. That should be setup. There we go. That should be setup. There we go. That should be relatively secure. So, let's modify our relatively secure. So, let's modify our relatively secure. So, let's modify our password. Living room channel one. password. Living room channel one. password. Living room channel one. Here we are. Here we are. Here we are. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Hi. So, actually setting up cameras on Hi. So, actually setting up cameras on Hi. So, actually setting up cameras on this is pretty easy. Under the IP camera this is pretty easy. Under the IP camera this is pretty easy. Under the IP camera application, all we're going to do is go application, all we're going to do is go application, all we're going to do is go ahead and click on add. And here it's ahead and click on add. And here it's ahead and click on add. And here it's going to go ahead and search for cameras going to go ahead and search for cameras going to go ahead and search for cameras on our local network. It's pretty good on our local network. It's pretty good on our local network. It's pretty good about finding these. There are some about finding these. There are some about finding these. There are some situations where you have to manually situations where you have to manually situations where you have to manually input it, but the camera I want to add I input it, but the camera I want to add I input it, but the camera I want to add I just go ahead and click on the check just go ahead and click on the check just go ahead and click on the check mark, go next, and you can see here for mark, go next, and you can see here for mark, go next, and you can see here for this third camera it's saying I do not this third camera it's saying I do not this third camera it's saying I do not have the sufficient amount of licenses.

have the sufficient amount of licenses. have the sufficient amount of licenses. So, I'm going to go to the licenses So, I'm going to go to the licenses So, I'm going to go to the licenses application. You can see the default application. You can see the default application. You can see the default licenses here. I'm just going to go up licenses here. I'm just going to go up licenses here. I'm just going to go up here, click add. It's going to give me a here, click add. It's going to give me a here, click add. It's going to give me a software agreement that I'm going to software agreement that I'm going to software agreement that I'm going to agree to and then go next. And then from agree to and then go next. And then from agree to and then go next. And then from here, I'm going to input the license key here, I'm going to input the license key here, I'm going to input the license key that came on the little card I ordered. that came on the little card I ordered. that came on the little card I ordered. Obviously blurring it out so you guys Obviously blurring it out so you guys Obviously blurring it out so you guys can't take it from me, and add it. From can't take it from me, and add it. From can't take it from me, and add it. From there it's going to go and activate and there it's going to go and activate and there it's going to go and activate and then we can see we successfully added then we can see we successfully added then we can see we successfully added the license. So, I'm going to go done. the license. So, I'm going to go done. the license. So, I'm going to go done. We can now see it there, and we can see We can now see it there, and we can see We can now see it there, and we can see it is a lifetime license on our local it is a lifetime license on our local it is a lifetime license on our local host source. So, from there if we close host source. So, from there if we close host source. So, from there if we close this out, we should be able to click this out, we should be able to click this out, we should be able to click okay. okay. okay. And then click next again with the And then click next again with the And then click next again with the license in there. It's going to go ahead license in there. It's going to go ahead license in there. It's going to go ahead and allow us to proceed. You can see it and allow us to proceed. You can see it and allow us to proceed. You can see it pulled up the brand, the IP address, and pulled up the brand, the IP address, and pulled up the brand, the IP address, and what What going to do real quick is give what What going to do real quick is give what What going to do real quick is give it a camera name. For this example, this it a camera name. For this example, this it a camera name. For this example, this is my living room cam. It's going to go is my living room cam. It's going to go is my living room cam. It's going to go into our surveillance storage. And then into our surveillance storage. And then into our surveillance storage. And then from there, we're going to go and from there, we're going to go and from there, we're going to go and authenticate it. This is where we're authenticate it. This is where we're authenticate it. This is where we're going to type in our username and going to type in our username and going to type in our username and password for this specific camera. And password for this specific camera. And password for this specific camera. And we can see the status is a green check, we can see the status is a green check, we can see the status is a green check, so we are good to go. Now, here is the so we are good to go. Now, here is the so we are good to go. Now, here is the setup. We have quick setup, complete setup. We have quick setup, complete setup. We have quick setup, complete setup, or you can copy settings from setup, or you can copy settings from setup, or you can copy settings from another camera. I recommend going with another camera. I recommend going with another camera. I recommend going with the complete setup, cuz then you can the complete setup, cuz then you can the complete setup, cuz then you can actually change the frame rates, days, actually change the frame rates, days, actually change the frame rates, days, things like that. On this example, I things like that. On this example, I things like that. On this example, I didn't change everything I should have.

didn't change everything I should have. didn't change everything I should have. These cameras support up to 30 frames These cameras support up to 30 frames These cameras support up to 30 frames per second with a 4-megapixel per second with a 4-megapixel per second with a 4-megapixel resolution. So, I actually went back and resolution. So, I actually went back and resolution. So, I actually went back and changed that later. But, one of the main changed that later. But, one of the main changed that later. But, one of the main things I changed is the keep the files things I changed is the keep the files things I changed is the keep the files within the amount of days. As for me, 30 within the amount of days. As for me, 30 within the amount of days. As for me, 30 days of continuous footage will probably days of continuous footage will probably days of continuous footage will probably be a little bit too much for my 12 or so be a little bit too much for my 12 or so be a little bit too much for my 12 or so terabytes I have available in my NAS terabytes I have available in my NAS terabytes I have available in my NAS with everything else I already have in with everything else I already have in with everything else I already have in there. From there, you can set the there. From there, you can set the there. From there, you can set the actual recording schedule. I'm just actual recording schedule. I'm just actual recording schedule. I'm just going to go continuous, but if you only going to go continuous, but if you only going to go continuous, but if you only want to record at night, things like want to record at night, things like want to record at night, things like that, that's where you go and set it up. that, that's where you go and set it up. that, that's where you go and set it up. And then we have a summary of all of our And then we have a summary of all of our And then we have a summary of all of our settings. All we need to do from there settings. All we need to do from there settings. All we need to do from there is click done. It's going to go and is click done. It's going to go and is click done. It's going to go and process that. And it may be disconnected process that. And it may be disconnected process that. And it may be disconnected at first, but you just go and give it a at first, but you just go and give it a at first, but you just go and give it a second, and then it will go ahead and second, and then it will go ahead and second, and then it will go ahead and connect. And here I am testing it out. connect. And here I am testing it out. connect. And here I am testing it out. You can see here that that third camera You can see here that that third camera You can see here that that third camera is disconnected at the moment. It's a is disconnected at the moment. It's a is disconnected at the moment. It's a little bit too far away little bit too far away little bit too far away out of range when it comes to Wi-Fi. I out of range when it comes to Wi-Fi. I out of range when it comes to Wi-Fi. I got this guy right here. This is a got this guy right here. This is a got this guy right here. This is a powerline extender, which will run an powerline extender, which will run an powerline extender, which will run an internet connection through my actual internet connection through my actual internet connection through my actual power outlets. So, I'm excited to check power outlets. So, I'm excited to check power outlets. So, I'm excited to check this out probably in a upcoming video.

this out probably in a upcoming video. this out probably in a upcoming video. Do subscribe. But, let's start Do subscribe. But, let's start Do subscribe. But, let's start overviewing some of these features here overviewing some of these features here overviewing some of these features here now that we have the camera set up. now that we have the camera set up. now that we have the camera set up. Again, if we go over to IP camera here, Again, if we go over to IP camera here, Again, if we go over to IP camera here, this is where we can add, edit, delete, this is where we can add, edit, delete, this is where we can add, edit, delete, and kind of manipulate all of our and kind of manipulate all of our and kind of manipulate all of our cameras. We can filter by status, so I cameras. We can filter by status, so I cameras. We can filter by status, so I can see what cameras are disconnected can see what cameras are disconnected can see what cameras are disconnected and what cameras are connected. I can and what cameras are connected. I can and what cameras are connected. I can enable disable cameras, but most enable disable cameras, but most enable disable cameras, but most importantly, if I go and view the kids' importantly, if I go and view the kids' importantly, if I go and view the kids' room here, it will actually bring up the room here, it will actually bring up the room here, it will actually bring up the live preview of this camera, and then we live preview of this camera, and then we live preview of this camera, and then we actually kind of manipulate and mess actually kind of manipulate and mess actually kind of manipulate and mess with some of these features here. We with some of these features here. We with some of these features here. We have our volume, we have hold to talk, have our volume, we have hold to talk, have our volume, we have hold to talk, so you'll have that two-way audio so you'll have that two-way audio so you'll have that two-way audio through here. This right here is that through here. This right here is that through here. This right here is that little PTZ panel, which is just how little PTZ panel, which is just how little PTZ panel, which is just how we're going to go ahead and actually we're going to go ahead and actually we're going to go ahead and actually move this camera around, so you just move this camera around, so you just move this camera around, so you just click and move to use the pan click and move to use the pan click and move to use the pan functionalities of the camera. We can functionalities of the camera. We can functionalities of the camera. We can take snapshots, we can do a manual take snapshots, we can do a manual take snapshots, we can do a manual recording, and then of course we can recording, and then of course we can recording, and then of course we can drag and zoom here if I wanted to get a drag and zoom here if I wanted to get a drag and zoom here if I wanted to get a view of over here in particular. And view of over here in particular. And view of over here in particular. And then we can kind of look around with then we can kind of look around with then we can kind of look around with some more detail. And then of course some more detail. And then of course some more detail. And then of course this is being recorded here, so I can this is being recorded here, so I can this is being recorded here, so I can kind of skip through and see older kind of skip through and see older kind of skip through and see older recordings. There's really a recordings. There's really a recordings. There's really a not much going on in here. There's a not much going on in here. There's a not much going on in here. There's a little thing right here, so yep, there I little thing right here, so yep, there I little thing right here, so yep, there I am earlier. I think I was What was I am earlier. I think I was What was I am earlier. I think I was What was I doing? I think I was grabbing this. I doing? I think I was grabbing this. I doing? I think I was grabbing this. I had this sitting next to the camera.

had this sitting next to the camera. had this sitting next to the camera. Close this out, and if we go to some of Close this out, and if we go to some of Close this out, and if we go to some of the other stuff, we have the monitor the other stuff, we have the monitor the other stuff, we have the monitor center. So this would be really cool to center. So this would be really cool to center. So this would be really cool to set up if you have like a actual room set up if you have like a actual room set up if you have like a actual room that you want a screen to go in and have that you want a screen to go in and have that you want a screen to go in and have all your cameras up in view. It's on the all your cameras up in view. It's on the all your cameras up in view. It's on the web browser, so you could probably even web browser, so you could probably even web browser, so you could probably even set this up on like a Raspberry Pi just set this up on like a Raspberry Pi just set this up on like a Raspberry Pi just to have open all the time. And if I go to have open all the time. And if I go to have open all the time. And if I go ahead and grab that kids room, I can ahead and grab that kids room, I can ahead and grab that kids room, I can double click and it will put it right double click and it will put it right double click and it will put it right here. And of course I'll have access to here. And of course I'll have access to here. And of course I'll have access to all the various controls. If I add the all the various controls. If I add the all the various controls. If I add the living room, so you'll be able to see living room, so you'll be able to see living room, so you'll be able to see me. Double click, you can see it popped me. Double click, you can see it popped me. Double click, you can see it popped it right here. And of course in this it right here. And of course in this it right here. And of course in this view we can just hover over and actually view we can just hover over and actually view we can just hover over and actually Oh, I'm going to mute this. Getting some Oh, I'm going to mute this. Getting some Oh, I'm going to mute this. Getting some feedback. There we go. We can access all feedback. There we go. We can access all feedback. There we go. We can access all the features we have in the individual the features we have in the individual the features we have in the individual live view in this pane, and you can add live view in this pane, and you can add live view in this pane, and you can add a lot more. If I go over here to general a lot more. If I go over here to general a lot more. If I go over here to general layout, you can see what you can really layout, you can see what you can really layout, you can see what you can really do with it. You can customize it really do with it. You can customize it really do with it. You can customize it really however you want. And then down here however you want. And then down here however you want. And then down here everything's recording at the same time, everything's recording at the same time, everything's recording at the same time, so we have tracks kind of. And then we so we have tracks kind of. And then we so we have tracks kind of. And then we could go ahead and drag this play head could go ahead and drag this play head could go ahead and drag this play head around and actually see what was going around and actually see what was going around and actually see what was going on at all cameras at a specific time. on at all cameras at a specific time. on at all cameras at a specific time. And then if I click this little live And then if I click this little live And then if I click this little live button, it jumps me back up to the now.

button, it jumps me back up to the now. button, it jumps me back up to the now. So I'm going to go ahead and save those So I'm going to go ahead and save those So I'm going to go ahead and save those changes, leave there. And then we have changes, leave there. And then we have changes, leave there. And then we have recording, so this is just access to all recording, so this is just access to all recording, so this is just access to all the actual files and various events that the actual files and various events that the actual files and various events that it went ahead and grabbed. If I go to it went ahead and grabbed. If I go to it went ahead and grabbed. If I go to storage here, you can see the actual storage here, you can see the actual storage here, you can see the actual volume one surveillance folder that I volume one surveillance folder that I volume one surveillance folder that I have added to store all this data. And I have added to store all this data. And I have added to store all this data. And I don't have the biggest NAS in the world, don't have the biggest NAS in the world, don't have the biggest NAS in the world, so I think I have it set up to 3 or 4 so I think I have it set up to 3 or 4 so I think I have it set up to 3 or 4 days to go ahead and keep this footage days to go ahead and keep this footage days to go ahead and keep this footage long enough that if I need to pull long enough that if I need to pull long enough that if I need to pull something from yesterday or whatever, something from yesterday or whatever, something from yesterday or whatever, it's going to keep. Right here, C2 it's going to keep. Right here, C2 it's going to keep. Right here, C2 surveillance, this is their kind of surveillance, this is their kind of surveillance, this is their kind of cloud option. I'm not going to cloud option. I'm not going to cloud option. I'm not going to personally use it, but if you did want personally use it, but if you did want personally use it, but if you did want to have a to have a to have a both local and offsite backup, this both local and offsite backup, this both local and offsite backup, this might be a decent solution for you if might be a decent solution for you if might be a decent solution for you if you're running a business or something. you're running a business or something. you're running a business or something. Now, this right here, maps, this is Now, this right here, maps, this is Now, this right here, maps, this is pretty cool. You could add image maps, pretty cool. You could add image maps, pretty cool. You could add image maps, which you could see I've done here, or which you could see I've done here, or which you could see I've done here, or you can add a map service for if you you can add a map service for if you you can add a map service for if you have a surveillance stations in multiple have a surveillance stations in multiple have a surveillance stations in multiple locations. But here, for example, if I locations. But here, for example, if I locations. But here, for example, if I want to edit objects on this map, I want to edit objects on this map, I want to edit objects on this map, I could click. could click. could click. I could go kids' room, and I'm not going I could go kids' room, and I'm not going I could go kids' room, and I'm not going to put it in the actual Actually, I'll to put it in the actual Actually, I'll to put it in the actual Actually, I'll do a do a do a Obviously, the living room. Boop. Put Obviously, the living room. Boop. Put Obviously, the living room. Boop. Put this right here. You can adjust where this right here. You can adjust where this right here. You can adjust where the view is. So, if something happened the view is. So, if something happened the view is. So, if something happened in a certain room, and you have like I in a certain room, and you have like I in a certain room, and you have like I said, businesses, or if you have a huge said, businesses, or if you have a huge said, businesses, or if you have a huge house, you can open this up and pinpoint house, you can open this up and pinpoint house, you can open this up and pinpoint that exact camera, change the actual that exact camera, change the actual that exact camera, change the actual field of view, and see what is going on field of view, and see what is going on field of view, and see what is going on at that specific location. Close out.

at that specific location. Close out. at that specific location. Close out. Just another really cool feature. And Just another really cool feature. And Just another really cool feature. And then, application center, there's a lot then, application center, there's a lot then, application center, there's a lot of stuff going on in here. You can see of stuff going on in here. You can see of stuff going on in here. You can see I'm really only running one thing, which I'm really only running one thing, which I'm really only running one thing, which is a smart time-lapse feature. And it is a smart time-lapse feature. And it is a smart time-lapse feature. And it looks like I have an update, which is looks like I have an update, which is looks like I have an update, which is nice. But if I go under Let's do device nice. But if I go under Let's do device nice. But if I go under Let's do device integration. You could see some of the integration. You could see some of the integration. You could see some of the options I have. This one right here, I'm options I have. This one right here, I'm options I have. This one right here, I'm going to eventually set up. This is edge going to eventually set up. This is edge going to eventually set up. This is edge recording. So, if a camera gets recording. So, if a camera gets recording. So, if a camera gets disconnected from the Synology Station, disconnected from the Synology Station, disconnected from the Synology Station, it could actually rely on the SD cards it could actually rely on the SD cards it could actually rely on the SD cards that are in here. So, if a camera that are in here. So, if a camera that are in here. So, if a camera reconnects, it could kind of fill in the reconnects, it could kind of fill in the reconnects, it could kind of fill in the footage gaps during that disconnection footage gaps during that disconnection footage gaps during that disconnection with the onboard storage of the camera, with the onboard storage of the camera, with the onboard storage of the camera, so that is really nice. And you have so that is really nice. And you have so that is really nice. And you have other things like IP speakers, other things like IP speakers, other things like IP speakers, joysticks, things like that. And I'm joysticks, things like that. And I'm joysticks, things like that. And I'm pretty sure IP speaker is software that pretty sure IP speaker is software that pretty sure IP speaker is software that they use on like stores to play like they use on like stores to play like they use on like stores to play like music over the intercom, things like music over the intercom, things like music over the intercom, things like that. Retail transactions. This is I'm that. Retail transactions. This is I'm that. Retail transactions. This is I'm never ever going to use this, but it's never ever going to use this, but it's never ever going to use this, but it's still a pretty cool feature to be able still a pretty cool feature to be able still a pretty cool feature to be able to integrate with a point of sale system to integrate with a point of sale system to integrate with a point of sale system or point of service system and actually or point of service system and actually or point of service system and actually see transactions like on screen or be see transactions like on screen or be see transactions like on screen or be able to search transactions and able to search transactions and able to search transactions and associate footage with it. And then over associate footage with it. And then over associate footage with it. And then over here under education, live broadcast is here under education, live broadcast is here under education, live broadcast is something that's kind of cool. It allows something that's kind of cool. It allows something that's kind of cool. It allows you to live stream various cameras to you to live stream various cameras to you to live stream various cameras to YouTube if that's something you're YouTube if that's something you're YouTube if that's something you're interested in. And there's really a lot interested in. And there's really a lot interested in. And there's really a lot more. We have access control, video more. We have access control, video more. We have access control, video analytics, large-scale deployment, analytics, large-scale deployment, analytics, large-scale deployment, archive, live view, PC utilities, and archive, live view, PC utilities, and archive, live view, PC utilities, and mobile applications. Which by the way, mobile applications. Which by the way, mobile applications. Which by the way, I'm currently using a DS cam. I need to I'm currently using a DS cam. I need to I'm currently using a DS cam. I need to try out live cam, but DS cam basically

try out live cam, but DS cam basically try out live cam, but DS cam basically has all the functionality and features has all the functionality and features has all the functionality and features that I need, including everything that that I need, including everything that that I need, including everything that we've seen on here for moving the we've seen on here for moving the we've seen on here for moving the cameras around, talking, or the two-way cameras around, talking, or the two-way cameras around, talking, or the two-way audio, taking snapshots, things like audio, taking snapshots, things like audio, taking snapshots, things like that. And then down here under client, that. And then down here under client, that. And then down here under client, of course, this is our of course, this is our of course, this is our Synology Surveillance Client. So you can Synology Surveillance Client. So you can Synology Surveillance Client. So you can actually download a software version of actually download a software version of actually download a software version of that on your computer. But overall, for that on your computer. But overall, for that on your computer. But overall, for it to be integrated within the Synology it to be integrated within the Synology it to be integrated within the Synology NAS like this, have this level of NAS like this, have this level of NAS like this, have this level of functionality and features, and the fact functionality and features, and the fact functionality and features, and the fact it's a one-time license fee is is pretty it's a one-time license fee is is pretty it's a one-time license fee is is pretty nice to me. Now, I know there's going to nice to me. Now, I know there's going to nice to me. Now, I know there's going to be comments down below talking about be comments down below talking about be comments down below talking about various free and open-source solutions. various free and open-source solutions. various free and open-source solutions. I have a Proxmox container set up over I have a Proxmox container set up over I have a Proxmox container set up over here that I would love to go ahead and here that I would love to go ahead and here that I would love to go ahead and test some other options out. So if you test some other options out. So if you test some other options out. So if you guys have various preferences for your guys have various preferences for your guys have various preferences for your home security system that I could go home security system that I could go home security system that I could go ahead and test out, please let me know ahead and test out, please let me know ahead and test out, please let me know down below. And in addition, of course, down below. And in addition, of course, down below. And in addition, of course, I'll have links down below to the I'll have links down below to the I'll have links down below to the Synology NAS I'm using, the licenses if Synology NAS I'm using, the licenses if Synology NAS I'm using, the licenses if you're actually interested in that, as you're actually interested in that, as you're actually interested in that, as well as these cameras. The cameras are well as these cameras. The cameras are well as these cameras. The cameras are working really good. And of course, the working really good. And of course, the working really good. And of course, the regular IP cameras. So even if you don't regular IP cameras. So even if you don't regular IP cameras. So even if you don't link them up in a Synology, you can link link them up in a Synology, you can link link them up in a Synology, you can link them up with whatever IP camera software them up with whatever IP camera software them up with whatever IP camera software you want to use. And uh with all that, I you want to use. And uh with all that, I you want to use. And uh with all that, I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day. And goodbye.
