Synology unveils a pair of smart cameras that thanks to artificial intelligence offer timely and accurate reports. They’re easy to implement, versatile, and deliver quality video day or night. How to integrate them with IP cameras from other manufacturers thanks to a solution like Surveillance Station.
When it comes to video surveillance over IPthe market is teeming with often very cheap solutions which, however, prove to be difficult to manage, incompatible with other products and quickly set aside by their respective manufacturers (with all the consequences in terms of support, assistance and safety).
Synology has presented its new video cameras based onartificial intelligence BC500 and TC500: featuring a cylindrical or turret design, both cameras are weatherproof and designed to optimize the quality of streaming and video recordings both day and night.
The well-known manufacturer of solutions for the data storage has highlighted several times what are the aspects to take into consideration when choosing video surveillance solutions: in its own products and services, Synology has done its utmost to provide tools that allow you to combine the use of cameras from different vendors, overcoming any potential compatibility issues. Suffice it to say that thanks to the complete and versatile application Surveillance Stationi NAS Synology they help to set up, very simply, a professional IP video surveillance system with the possibility of simultaneously receiving and managing the streaming flows from the various cameras, with or without ONVIF support.
With the new ones BC500 and TC500 camerasSynology continues on the same path: first and foremost, they are designed to integrate seamlessly with Surveillance Station. All network settings and camera configurations they can in fact be managed directly from the environment hosted on the Synology NAS. In addition, Synology cameras do not require the purchase or activation of licenses inside Surveillance Stationthus streamlining the configuration procedure, facilitating migration and reducing implementation costs. These are aspects that are crucial for the professional and for businesses.
The new Synology cameras boast aedge storage Of failover which ensures continuous logging in the event of connectivity issues. Simple firmware updates with configurable schedules help administrators keep cameras up to date with the latest security patcheswhile support for HTTPS and SRTP provides security and privacy by encrypting video and data streams.
Artificial intelligence for smart video surveillance
We said at the beginning that the BC500 and TC500 video cameras base their operation on artificial intelligence: the integrated algorithms ensure data confidentiality and, at the same time, punctual and accurate reports.
Indeed, the AI platform implemented by Synology engineers delivers timely reports and precise, to speed up the activities of incident response. Functions include the detection of people and vehicles, of any intrusions while with Instant Search it becomes possible to more reliably identify potential threats, quickly investigate areas of interest, quickly recover specific frames.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, Synology cameras can accurately distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects.
The cylindrical format of the BC500 is perfect for the outdoor surveillancewhile the ceiling-mounted TC500 is excellent for indoors. stocked with 5 Megapixel sensor Recording with a resolution of 2880×1620 pixels at 30 fps, the two Synology cameras have a horizontal viewing angle of 110° and ensure wide coverage for smooth and detailed videos. With an IP67 degree of protection against dust and water, a night vision up to 30 meters and multi-exposure HDR capabilities, the BC500 and TC500 are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They allow you to monitor corridors and entrances, large open spaces such as warehouses and car parks but also complex environments such as museums, at any time of day or night.
