Enterprise-Focused Upgrades in Surveillance Station APIs and Webhook Integration

Synology

As digital transformation speeds up in many fields, businesses are rethinking how surveillance systems can provide strategic value beyond just security. Modern businesses now expect surveillance infrastructure to help with things like operational efficiency, workforce visibility, workflow verification, and automated response systems. Synology’s latest improvements to Surveillance Station APIs and webhook integrations make these goals finally possible. This is especially true when they are set up with the help of Epis Technology, a top Synology consulting and systems integration company.

These upgrades make it much easier and cheaper to integrate surveillance into production monitoring, quality control, asset tracking, and AI-driven automation. This means that businesses can move faster on digital transformation projects.

Changing Surveillance from Passive Monitoring to Active Tools for Getting Things Done

Surveillance systems have advanced significantly beyond mere recording capabilities. Video data has become an important part of running a business in fields like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and construction. For instance, connecting Surveillance Station to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) makes it possible to have situations where:

Before putting a product together, operators scan its barcode

The code is automatically recorded and linked to the right video footage.

You can see quality problems in seconds
You can look over workflows to make them more accurate and help with training

These examples show how video-based insights can help with quality, compliance, and productivity.

But until now, these kinds of integrations needed completely custom development, which meant long deployment times, high consulting fees, and results that weren’t always the same. This complexity made it hard for many businesses to fully adopt smart surveillance solutions.

New Surveillance Station API and Webhook: Code Generation in Seconds

Synology released a big update to the Surveillance Station API and webhook framework in response to requests from the industry. This makes it easy to connect to both internal and external business systems quickly. This is a big step forward for both businesses and integrators.

Some of the most important improvements are:

✔ Generate API code right away

Users just pick a scenario, like embedding live video feeds, searching recordings by timestamp or camera ID, or exporting event logs, and Surveillance Station makes the necessary API code in 10 seconds.

No more writing documents by hand, and no need for specialized development teams.

✔ Plugin for ChatGPT Already Installed

It’s easy for users to ask for API code in languages like Python or Golang by just saying what they need it for. This makes it much easier for integration projects to get started.

✔ Better Webhook Features

Now, Surveillance Station can:

Send events in real time, like motion detection, DVA AI results, and alerts
Send snapshots and metadata straight to other platforms
Get commands from outside systems so that you can have unified control dashboards

This lets companies build centralized security and operations platforms on top of Surveillance Station.

Surveillance Station as a Platform for Integrating Multiple Scenarios

Surveillance Station can now work with automation systems, AI engines, IoT platforms, attendance systems, access control, and more thanks to the new APIs and webhook framework.

Some common ways to use integration are:

Putting live camera views into business systems
Connecting automatic gate control to license plate recognition
Sending recordings to AI systems for analysis
Showing AI results from other companies in the live view of Surveillance Station
Using Surveillance Station as the main place to keep an eye on data from different systems

Example from the real world: Following safety rules on a construction site

Synology’s built-in AI for helmet detection can’t handle the fact that helmets come in different shapes in different countries and on different job sites. But now that there are new APIs, businesses can:

Make your own AI models
Send the results of the detection to Surveillance Station
Set off automatic alerts
Record events that show compliance with safety rules

This flexibility lets businesses put in place very specific operational rules on a large scale.
