Management

With customizable event linking rules, flexible privilege settings, and instant email or mobile notifications, Synology offers full-fledged surveillance management tools perfect for your home and business environment.

Automate different surveillance functions with Action Rule

Create action rules to perform specific actions automatically when a pre-defined event occurs, such as instructing a camera to patrol between different user defined preset positions, and providing status on surveillance system components. Learn more about Action Rule.

Create action rules corresponding to a pre-defined event.
When a pre-defined event occurs, specified actions will be triggered.
Actions can include PTZ patrolling, recording, enabling/disabling of cameras, and more.

Integrated I/O modules with Action Rules

Automate your environment by connecting devices to I/O modules and making them interact through Action Rules. Trigger Action Rules manually in Monitor Center.

Server door lock opened

Smoke detected

Support for I/O modules means Surveillance Station can be integrated with micro switches installed on server doors in control rooms. Opening the server doors will trigger a camera to start recording, alerts to be displayed in Monitor Center, and notifications to be sent to your phone.

Connect to a smoke detector and set up an action rule to trigger an LED light upon detecting smoke. The location of the event will be highlighted in Maps in Monitoring Center, allowing security personnel to easily find the exact spot.

IFTTT & Webhook integration

Let custom events trigger actions with IFTTT ("if this, then that") and Webhook services to create a smart home. Connect your NAS or NVR to platforms and devices such as Gmail, Facebook, smart lights, and smart speakers. Turn on smart lights when Surveillance System detects motion, or activate security cameras when someone opens the door.
