There's a difference between consumer and enterprise.ĭoorbird makes the best doorbell security systems with Axis cameras (albeit more expensive). It's a decent image, PTZ works good and it integrates into Synology fine but there's too many things it does poorly and it has to be coaxed to get half-way to what Hikvision provides. I have one RLC-423 (PTZ) which I wanted to try out because it's so much cheaper. Which brings me to someone mentioned Reolink. Synology provides the API to do about everything you need to enhance. it notifies me immediately and tells my remote Synology to record the secondary streams so I have backups. (Some try to use this semi-real time but it's a fool's errand without GPU.) When custom software detects a person, car in driveway, etc. I have additional custom software which performs deepstack analysis to clean up and avoid false alarms. Camera licenses are $50 each after first two. SS is better than most NVRs I've seen and a lot of API flexibility but not perfect. Ubiquiti UniFi PoE switch (150W or higher). I have some 4k but they are less reliable at night due to photons diluted across all those extra pixels and I wouldn't buy them again. I also switched to Blue Iris, so I only use my Diskstation for archiving some clips from my BI server. * IPC-HFW4239T-ASE 2MP color-nightvision. I have a full Unifi setup here w/ 5 APs, USG Pro4, multiple switches, 10G fiber links. PLMK if you want details on those) I agree that Ubiquiti's cameras are overpriced. (I have/used several others including Reolink, Amcrest and Lorex. Links below are for a couple of the models I use. So you're better off configuring a couple drives in non-raid5/SHR just for SS usage: įWIW, I'm using mostly Dahua cameras and love them. So anytime I wanted to watch a movie via Plex, the disks would have to flip back & forth from reading the movie data to writing the SS stream. all 4 drives being written to constantly by a couple cameras. This was likely the reason for some of my performance issues with it. If you get one of the larger synology boxes, you ideally would dedicate some of drives for surveillance usage and the rest for general storage (not sure what other needs you have for the NAS). The 412 died on me ~ 2 years ago and I replaced it w/ a larger DS1817+ which probably has enough horsepower to handle the cameras w/o degrading performance as much. I was using it on a DS412+ at the time, which was IMO slightly underpowered for the camera load. I haven't looked at it in awhile, but it's likely improved since I last used it. I used Synology's surveillance-station software for a short while, but only w/ 2 cameras as I didn't think spending more for the licensing made sense relative to the cost of the cameras. You'll find more info for cameras on other subs, but this guy has reviews on several that might be helpful:
