Reliable Video Recording Over Wi-Fi with Synology SRR
Ensuring Video Integrity Over Wi-Fi with Synology SRR Technology
Wi-Fi surveillance cameras offer tremendous flexibility, but wireless networks also introduce instability that can lead to dropped frames, missing video segments, and gaps in security footage. For businesses that rely on accurate monitoring, even a momentary loss of video can compromise investigations, safety, and operational integrity.
Synology’s Seamless Recording Recovery (SRR) technology solves this challenge by ensuring complete, gap-free surveillance records even when your Wi-Fi network becomes unstable. Epis Technology deploys and optimizes these solutions as part of its advanced Synology-based infrastructure services, helping organizations maintain reliable, enterprise-grade video continuity.
Understanding the Challenge of Wi-Fi Video Transmission
Surveillance video relies on a chain of technologies, including RTSP, RTP, TCP/UDP transmission, and continuous frame delivery. Wi-Fi cameras are especially vulnerable to the following issues:
Electromagnetic interference
Nearby routers, microwaves, wireless devices, and Bluetooth accessories can disrupt video transmission.
Signal attenuation
Walls, distance, and metal structures degrade Wi-Fi signal strength, leading to stuttering or dropped frames.
Bandwidth congestion
Other devices streaming video, downloading large files, or running cloud backups can consume available bandwidth and impact surveillance streams.
Even when using TCP, Synology’s default for reliable transmission, packet delays and short outages can cause frame loss. This is where SRR becomes essential.
How Synology’s Seamless Recording Recovery (SRR) Works
SRR ensures no footage is lost even when the network becomes unstable. It uses built-in edge recording and automatic resynchronization to restore missing video segments after a disruption.
1. Real-Time Transmission Monitoring
Synology cameras continuously monitor video packet delivery. When packet loss or instability is detected, the system immediately logs the disruption and triggers SRR. This ensures every missing frame is accounted for.
2. Edge Recording During Network Loss
Once SRR is activated, the camera saves footage locally to its microSD card.
To avoid gaps, the system even captures pre-event footage right before disconnection occurs.
After the network connection stabilizes, the camera automatically transfers the missing footage back to the Synology NAS. This restores a complete, uninterrupted timeline.
3. Seamless Playback Alignment
SRR intelligently merges restored clips with NAS recordings based on timestamps.
The result: continuous, smooth playback with no jumps, freezes, or manual edits.
Admins never need to intervene; the system self-corrects and rebuilds the full recording.
Why SRR Matters for Business Surveillance
For organizations with mission-critical surveillance requirements, SRR provides:
Guaranteed completeness of recorded events, even during Wi-Fi issues
Protection against evidence gaps for compliance, safety, or legal investigations
Consistent monitoring across warehouses, offices, and distributed locations
Reduced administrative overhead, since SRR operates automatically
When combined with Epis Technology’s deployment and monitoring services, businesses gain a highly resilient, centrally managed surveillance ecosystem.
