The day you need the clip, it is there
Something happens.
A break in after hours.
You need the clip by tomorrow.
With a patchwork, nobody can reach the footage and the recorder loops over it.
With us, you can do it the same day.
Find the moment, lock the clip so it is never recorded over, and share it.
The brands we reach for first
Avigilon is our usual camera pick. Exact models are chosen in each building’s design.
ONVIF compatible, so cameras from many brands can record to one Synology system. Also good: Hanwha Vision and Rhombus.
Security that is run like IT
Its own network
