Wiener Wiesn Fest 2013
Through the complete and centralized video surveillance solution from Synology, problems of large areas could be identified immediately and therefore intervened rapidly during the festival. In addition, with CMS, valuable video recordings of multiple cameras can be managed in one place efficiently without being directly on site. During the festival at night, the Synology Surveillance Station supplied essential information for our security service as a motion detector.

The Company
The Challenge
The particular challenge was to find a surveillance solution that can provide stable and reliable recordings of an event that lasts almost 3 weeks with little configuration effort.
In addition, several recording servers were placed at different locations and had to be managed centrally via one single portal. Even if the management could be done from a PC, the solution should offer live surveillance via mobile app.
The Solution
Two Synology DS412+ and one Synology DS213+ with a total capacity of 40 TB were adopted. Thirty 1920 x 1080p HDTV cameras, mostly from the Axis M3000 series were connected via Gigabit Ethernet to those NAS servers. One camera was already installed on the 4th of September 2013 on the Giant Ferris Wheel. It uploaded pictures to the DS213+ with 4TB capacity. The live feed provided live streaming at 10 frames per second to an HDTV at 1080p quality. The surveillance area covered the whole event from start to finish.
"The combination of the Synology solution together with high-quality Axis IP cameras was the best way to guarantee and increase security for us as organizers and our customers." (Christian Feldhofer)
The Benefits
Easy Configuration
The main advantage of the Synology surveillance solution lies in its simple configurations. Since the solution is browser-based, no software installation is necessary. The entire implementation was completed in just one day and therefore was able to meet the short-term deadline.
Flexibility
Synology supports many camera types, so it was possible to install various models of different cameras. Furthermore, thanks to Synology CMS (Central Management System), the storage capacity can be easily expanded by integrating another unit with only a few clicks.
Mobile Surveillance
Easy access to all live videos as well as the recordings from any PC and all mobile devices was another deciding factor for the Synology solution. With the mobile version for Surveillance Station, DS cam, security staff can access live view and recordings on the go with their mobile devices.
