Effortless setup

C2 Surveillance is built with ease of deployment and management at its core. The setup process is designed to be completed within minutes even on mobile devices. Benefit from its intuitive installation experience, administrators can quickly bring new sites online without any specialized training, making it highly accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Advanced AI-powered detection tasks can also be configured easily through the user-friendly Synology interface, ensuring both accessibility and powerful functionality in just a few clicks.

Continuity-first architecture

C2 Surveillance is designed with a continuity-first architecture, ensuring uninterrupted recording even in the event of network disruptions. All footage is edge recorded to microSD cards, with the option to back up recordings to the C2 Cloud for extra protection. Additionally, C2 Surveillance supports failover offline mode, enabling local monitoring even when disconnected from the internet.

To safeguard sensitive footage and user access, the system incorporates AES-128 encryption, multi-factor authentication, and granular permission settings, and adheres to industry-leading compliance standards including ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and NDAA.

Smart scalability

To support organizations operating across multiple locations, C2 Surveillance leverages cloud infrastructure to centrally manage cameras across sites. With seamless integration with Windows Active Directory, it enables centralized identity and access management. Role-based access control allows administrators to easily delegate specific permissions across teams or locations.

In addition, C2 Surveillance supports low bandwidth mode to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 50% with minimal impact on video quality, making it ideal for environments with bandwidth constrains.
