Synology Surveillance Station 7.0 in Beta for NAS

Synology Inc. announced the beta availability of Surveillance Station 7.0, the latest version of its video management system.

Surveillance Station 7.0 Beta delivers a redesigned interface, customizable event linking rules, integration for physical access controllers, as well as support for more IP cameras and ONVIF 2.4 compliance.

“With Surveillance Station 7.0, we aimed to create the most flexible, yet easy to use version of Surveillance Station ever,” said Alex Wang, CEO, Synology, “Users can enjoy a familiar desktop experience with the redesigned interface, while also taking advantage of more camera features and built-in support for physical access controllers. These features boost versatility and installation options.“

Surveillance Station 7.0 Beta introduces features, including:

New design emphasizing ease-of-use: The user interface has been redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. The design emphasizes ease-of-use, multitasking, and handy organization. Design tweaks deliver smooth and responsive experience. The Alerts Panel for Live View Analytics lets users easily review, play back, or save suspicious events.
Automated event linking for dynamic surveillance environments: To facilitate task automation, it expands the functionality of action rules, making it possible to automatically perform a wider range of tasks, either according to a schedule or when pre-defined events occur. For example, if one camera goes offline, another camera can start patrolling a specified area in response.
Physical access control and video monitoring in a single pane: It moves beyond video surveillance and into the world of physical access control. When paired with the AXIS Network Door Controller solution, surveillance personnel can monitor, lock and unlock, or view access logs of connected doors – all from the familiar Surveillance Station interface.
Expanding integration for specialized IP cameras: It delivers integration for specialized camera features, such as object tracking, digital output, and two-way audio, allowing users to deploy a flexible surveillance system perfectly tailored to their individual environment. In addition, Surveillance Station 7.0 includes expanded, software-powered dewarping for wall mount and ceiling mount fisheye cameras.
ONVIF 2.4 compliance: With support for ONVIF 2.4, users and system integration can take advantage of interoperability and flexible installation with standard features like multiple stream, in-camera motion detection, digital input/output, audio output, NTP synchronization, or day/night exposure modes.
