The company claims to offer complete data protection in just a few clicks

Synology is a data management company that currently offers solutions for data storage and backup, file collaboration, video management, and network infrastructure.

One of its latest innovations is called Surveillance Station 9.0. This one allegedly sports a redesigned user interface that blends camera feeds, maps, playback controls, and alerts into a single dashboard.

With this technology, users can now set up hundreds of cameras within minutes. It makes use of a new streamlined wizard that enables batch configuration by either importing a prepopulated spreadsheet or by copying settings from already deployed cameras.

Product manager for surveillance at Synology Tony Lin explained that Surveillance Station has earned its spot as one of the most popular and trusted VMS solutions among both private and enterprise customers. 

He said that it has more than 500,000 active installations and more than 2.5 million cameras managed. Lin added,

Today's releases embody our commitment to continuously upgrading the capabilities of our existing products and preparing them for increasingly complex implementations.

Moreover, Surveillance Station 9.0 reportedly features a dual recording to stream surveillance footage simultaneously to C2 Surveillance. The latter is designed to lessen potential data loss that could happen in just seconds.

Synology explains that C2 Surveillance guarantees that footage is always accessible, even after a catastrophic event or in case of theft of systems from the premises they protect. 

Aside from that, the online portal is said to allow users to review recordings from anywhere. They can do that even without restoring huge amounts of data from a backup server. They can also share clips efficiently if required by authorities, whether or not the recording server is still available and functioning.
