Taiwan-headquartered technology company Synology has unveiled its Surveillance365 cloud video surveillance solution in Australia.
Designed for multi-site businesses, the secure Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) platform enables businesses to deploy enterprise-grade surveillance.
The technology is free to use with compatible Synology cameras, with the Surveillance365 Standard Plan centrally managing a camera fleet from a single web portal or mobile app.
The company says that deployment for each camera takes only a few minutes and incurs no additional costs such as dedicated IT staff or on-premises server configurations.
With an eye on data management and privacy, footage is recorded locally to an onboard microSD card.
Key AI analytics – including people, vehicle, intrusion and loitering detection – are processed on-camera for immediate alerts, minimising cloud bandwidth.
For live viewing, Surveillance365 prioritises peer-to-peer local connections, while Low Bandwidth Mode further cuts usage by up to 50 percent with minimal impact on video quality.
The company says that all of its cameras that use Surveillance365 are NDAA and TAA compliant – meeting US federal standards for hardware and software procurement compliance requirements – making it a solution that could be used for government agencies or other facilities here in Australia that require government-grade security.
For advanced access control, the Surveillance365 Business Plan adds granular permission profiles, site-level camera management and an audit log for managing distributed teams and locations.
Access to Surveillance365 is also protected by multi-factor authentication and a C2 Encryption Key held exclusively by the account holder.
Optional cloud back-up to C2 OneStorage supports event-based or continuous recording with retention from 45 days to 10 years, and extends to protect Surveillance Station recordings on existing a Synology NAS (network-attached storage) smart physical storage box that connects to the facility’s office internet router.
“Ever since we introduced Surveillance Station in 2008, our vision has been to build a private, fully integrated surveillance ecosystem spanning cameras, NVRs (network video recorders) and VMS, storage, back-up, AI analytics and cloud, all engineered by one vendor. Today, Surveillance365 completes that vision,” Synology CEO and chairman Philip Wong says.
“Whether overseeing retail chains, construction sites or global corporate offices, organisations can scale their security footprint instantly through Surveillance365 without the burden of managing physical infrastructure.”
