How To Install Synology Surveillance Station, In this How To… Guide we are going to take you through how to install Surveillance Station software to a Synology NAS and then show you how to add an IP camera to that software. This guide is aimed at people who have just setup a NAS or have pre-existing NAS that they want to start using for IP camera management and storage, if you are setting up your NAS for the first time this thread is not for you, either follow the instructions in the box, look at other threads in the Synology section of this forum, or ask us for help.

Once you have the NAS setup you can come back to this post and follow the steps below:
.

Step 1: Login to your Synology NAS via a browser

Step 2: Click the Package Center icon

Step 3: Search for and install the Surveillance Station software (it should be on the home page of the package center, if not you can use the search bar to find it)

Step 4: Click the Synology main menu at the top left of your screen and open the newly installed Surveillance Station software

Step 5: Click the IP Camera icon

Step 6: Click the add button when the new window open and then click add camera from the drop-down

Step 7: Select Quick Setup and then click the next button

Step 8: Enter the camera details manually or click the Search icon next the IP Address box

Step 9: Check both the Synology Supported Cameras and ONVIF lists (some camera models are not directly supported by Synology, but as long as the camera is ONVIF compliant you should be able to add it to the Surveillance Station software)

Step 10: Select the camera you want to add from one of the lists and click OK

Step 11: Check that all the camera details are filled in, including the cameras username & password (also give the camera a unique name to help you identify it from other cameras)

The height of the lines indicates the extent of motion. The density of the lines indicates the frequency of motion. The higher a line, the greater the extent. The denser the lines, the higher the frequency.

>4) Set Suppress Alarm to avoid receiving the same alarms within a certain length of time (alarm suppression time). For example, alarm suppression time is set to 5s, after an alarm is reported:

>If no motion is detected within the next 5s, new alarms can be reported after 5s when the alarm suppression time (5s) is over.

>If motion is detected within the next 5s, the alarm suppression time recounts from the time of the last alarm, and new alarms can be reported when the alarm suppressions time (5s) is over.

1.1.4Ports & External Devices

The RS485 port is used for data transmission between the camera and external third-party devices for PTZ control, OSD, audio collection, illumination control, etc. The serial port parameters configured on the camera must match that of the connected external device.

NOTE!

Serial ports may not be available on all camera models.

Go to Setup > System > Ports & Devices > Serial Port.

Set Port Mode and configure the parameters.

• PTZ control

To control the PTZ using a third-party device, set Port Mode to PTZ Control.

By sending PELCO-D instructions through the RS485, you can control PTZ without using the PTZ control panel.

(1) Set Port Mode to Local PTZ Control.

(2) Configure the parameters.
