Synology Showcases Advanced Surveillance Innovations at ISC East
Synology Showcases New Surveillance Solutions at ISC East 2023
At ISC East 2023, Synology unveiled an expanded lineup of surveillance solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern security operations. The company highlighted innovations that combine smart analytics, centralized management, flexible deployment models, and seamless integration with third-party hardware to streamline security workflows for enterprises, retailers, healthcare facilities, and more.
The conference spotlighted Synology’s commitment to providing scalable, performance-driven video surveillance tools that help organizations improve visibility, reduce response times, and adapt to dynamic operational requirements. With the increasing complexity of today’s security landscape, the showcased solutions emphasize intelligent automation and comprehensive visibility across both local and distributed environments.
Introducing Advanced Video Analytics and Management Tools
One of the central themes at Synology’s ISC East booth was enhanced video analytics, which leverage machine learning and intelligent detection to provide deeper insights and faster alerts. These features include:
AI-Driven Detection & Classification
Synology’s AI integrations improve detection accuracy for human and object recognition, reducing false positives and enabling more reliable monitoring.
Smart Event Triggers
Security teams can set automated recording and alert triggers based on specific criteria, including motion, object type, or zone breach, ensuring high-priority events receive immediate attention.
Scalable Centralized Monitoring
With Synology’s enhanced surveillance management, administrators can manage thousands of cameras across distributed sites from a single interface, reducing operational clutter and increasing oversight.
These analytics capabilities are designed to empower security operators to detect, validate, and respond to incidents with greater speed and accuracy.
Flexible Deployment for Diverse Environments
Synology demonstrated solutions that adapt to diverse deployment scenarios:
On-Premises Surveillance Stations
Designed for environments where local storage, low-latency access, and internal network control are critical, such as campuses, industrial sites, and corporate headquarters.
Hybrid Cloud Integrations
Hybrid cloud deployment models allow for off-site redundancy, secure archival storage, and scalable data retention policies, a key advantage for businesses with compliance or long-term retention requirements.
Edge-Ready Analytics
Certain Synology solutions bring analytics closer to the source, enabling intelligent processing at the edge for faster local detection and lower network load.
These flexible deployment options reflect an understanding that different environments have unique priorities for performance, redundancy, and access control.
Expanded Third-Party Hardware Support
At ISC East, Synology also reinforced its commitment to interoperability by expanding support for third-party cameras and devices. This means organizations can protect existing investments in hardware while extending their capabilities with Synology’s advanced software features.
By supporting a wide range of camera brands and industry standards, Synology allows security teams to build heterogeneous systems that integrate legacy and modern equipment—avoiding costly rip-and-replace scenarios while improving operational performance.
Enhanced Viewing and Visualization Tools
Surveillance isn’t just about capturing footage; it’s about making it useful. Synology showcased new visualization tools and displays that make it easier for operators to absorb information quickly:
Customizable dashboards for key metrics
Multi-camera tiled views for real-time monitoring
Interactive playback and timeline filters
Smart event overlays that highlight detected objects
These tools help reduce cognitive load on operators, making it easier to spot trends, verify alarms, and initiate appropriate responses without delay.
Key Advantages for Security Teams
Taken together, Synology’s ISC East announcements reflect a broader trend toward:
Efficiency in Monitoring
Automated, AI-driven analytics reduce manual review time and decrease dependence on large teams for round-the-clock surveillance.
Improved Investigative Capabilities
Enhanced search tools and event tagging allow security teams to locate relevant footage faster when responding to incidents or preparing reports.
Scalability for Growth
Centralized management and hybrid cloud options make it simpler to expand surveillance infrastructure without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
By supporting third-party hardware and flexible deployment models, organizations can preserve existing investments while adopting new capabilities.
These benefits align with the expectations of modern enterprises, where security operations must be both proactive and cost-effective.
