How Epis Technology Is Making Synology Surveillance Deployments Even Better in 2022

Synology

Surveillance Station 9.0 is one of the biggest changes Synology has ever made to its software. But even though the platform’s new features make it much easier for businesses to keep an eye on and protect their environments, they are most useful when they are planned and put into action by experts. Epis Technology is an expert at designing, setting up, and improving Synology surveillance systems. This way, businesses can get the most out of every new feature that comes out in 2022.

As Synology updates its surveillance suite, Epis Technology helps businesses improve security, make workflows more efficient, and grow with confidence by bridging the gap between new ideas and real-world use.

Epis Technology has improved a modern, unified monitoring experience

Surveillance Station 9.0 has a new dark interface and a completely redesigned Monitor Center. It combines live feeds, timeline playback, PTZ controls, I/O modules, and mapping into a single, easy-to-use dashboard.

Epis Technology helps businesses by:

Creating custom layouts for Monitor Centers to make operations run more smoothly
Teaching security teams how to use the new unified interface
Putting cameras, alarms, and access controls all in one easy-to-navigate view

With ET’s help with configuration, security staff can respond to incidents faster, spend less time training, and be more aware of what’s going on around them.

More intelligent multi-layered mapping with help for real-world use

The improved Maps feature lets you see multiple layers and floors on Google Maps and OpenStreet. Businesses can now keep track of events on campuses, in buildings, and outside with more detail than ever before.

Epis Technology makes this ability even better by:

Importing and lining up floor plans, site maps, and layouts for multiple buildings
Putting PTZ cameras, sensors, and I/O modules in the right places on the map
Setting up alert rules so that events show up on the screen exactly where they happen

This takes the guesswork out of things and helps security teams look into incidents more accurately.

Faster deployment and migration, great for business use cases

One of the best new features in Surveillance Station 9.0 is the ability to configure multiple cameras at once, which speeds up large-scale deployments by a lot. Centralized provisioning and batch-importing camera settings can cut the time it takes to set up cameras on multiple servers from hours to minutes.

Epis Technology makes the most of this benefit by:

Making templates for standard configurations
Managing CMS-based deployments in environments with more than one site
Setting up hundreds or thousands of cameras automatically
Managing migrations from old surveillance systems with as little downtime as possible

Epis Technology makes sure that businesses with multiple locations can quickly and correctly add new facilities and make upgrades.

Epis Technology handles centralized updates and maintenance without any problems

With Surveillance Station 9.0, administrators can automatically send updates from a CMS server to all recording servers, even when they are not connected to the internet.

Epis Technology helps its clients by:

Making sure that updates are done safely
Checking to make sure compatibility and patch stability
Setting up automatic update distribution for big deployments
Keeping an eye out for old firmware, security holes, or wrong settings

This makes things easier for internal IT teams and makes sure that every system is secure and compliant.

ET Hardening gives you enterprise-level privacy, encryption, and protection

Surveillance Station 9.0 has the following features to improve data security and meet modern compliance standards:

Video streams that are encrypted with HTTPS/SRTP
Encryption at the recording level that needs different decryption keys
Masks for privacy in sensitive areas
Watermarks that happen automatically for audit trails

Epis Technology adds to these protections with:

Managing the lifecycle of encryption keys
Architecture for access control to limit who can see things
Configurations that focus on compliance for industries that are regulated
Storage and retention plans that meet legal requirements

This makes sure that surveillance footage stays safe, even from misuse or theft by employees.

Epis Technology set up and runs dual recording and C2 integration

One of the biggest improvements in 2022 is dual recording, which lets you save video to two places at once:

A main NAS
A second NAS
Cloud from Synology

Epis Technology engineers come up with these hybrid recording strategies to:

Stop losing footage when the server goes down
Improve disaster recovery with an RPO of almost zero
Allow access to footage from afar without restoring archives
Make the most of bandwidth and storage for operations at multiple sites

With ET’s help, businesses can build a recording architecture that is strong and can handle mistakes.

AI Analytics for All Businesses, with Custom ET Setup

New and improved analytics include:

Recognizing license plates
Alerts for traffic jams
Better counting of people
Better at recognizing faces
Triggers based on rules that run automatically

Epis Technology sets up and calibrates these AI modules to:

Set up the right lighting and camera angles to make things more accurate
Make automated workflows for alerts, door triggers, and speaker notifications
Add analytics to deployments that use more than one server or site

Businesses get useful information, not false alarms, when they fine-tune their systems.

The New DVA1622 Expands Capabilities

The DVA1622 brings AI analytics to smaller businesses and edge deployments. It offers:

Up to 16 camera channels
Recognizing faces
Ongoing analysis that can be changed
Local display in 4K HDMI
Full integration with CMS

Epis Technology uses DVA units to add to bigger surveillance systems or make smaller ones better with cheap AI monitoring.

Epis Technology lets you use all of Surveillance Station 9.0’s features

Surveillance Station 9.0 is a big step forward for video security, operational efficiency, and smart monitoring. But many businesses can’t fully use its features without expert deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management.

Best design for multi-site surveillance
CMS automation and orchestration
Encryption and compliance for businesses
Quickly setting up and moving cameras
Architecture for hybrid cloud and dual recording
AI analytics that are fully set up
