Great video and thanks for the shout out!
Good Tech people, know good tech people when they see them!🤓🥳
You need to talk with the RUclips channel Craft Computing. He recently reviewed a Synology and tried to compare it to home lab equipment and completely ignored the use case or the origins of synology. Yeah, the hardware isn't amazing, but that's not the point of it. Good review here
Didn't they just do a bit with pc world together at ltx?
Lol "home lab equiment"? Try with "actual servers".
For video surveillance, Synology is a poor solution and unreasonably expensive
Unsure on the ltz bit, and yes on the server side though Syno does have rack units that are not far off from lower end SANs (including HA nodes etc)
Syno may be somewhat pricy but it's easily on par with Ubiquiti for surveillance, arguably a better overall purchase for an SMB as the unit can do more than just that. Small example would be that it comes with free licensing to backup gcloud and m365, as well as relatively decent performance backups of PCs and vmware/hyper-v all without additional licensing.
Good topic. Its weird to me that synology expects me to buy their brand of memory or harddrives
They say it is for compatability but money printer goes brrrrrrrrrr.
Afaik they do that only on the bigger rackmounted NAS, not on the plasticky ones
@@marcogenovesi8570 The DS line will complain about non-Synology branded memory. It complains about certain harddrives too. It all still works, but you get nagging messages.
@@floridaman7 hm, interesting. So they eventually expanded that to all their stuff. It started only on the businness-y rackmounted units.
Takes me back to the days I had a swann system, It came with software and pci cards that I just put in a pc and set it to record when motion was detected and it would email me and I could remote into the pc and watch the video.. The cams as had night vision.. I had 8 cams with only 2 pci 4 port cards.. and it was great. I set up my own network security.
On the other side of the pond, so the entity list does not matter as much here. I find using a dedicated NVR with multiple NIC's allows you to configure one as a dedicated isolated LAN specifically for the cameras is best practice-negating the risk of back doors /exploits etc. from our friends in China. We typically use Tyco VideoEdge, wavestore X/V series at work, but I have a trusty old DS412+ working away with a mix of Hanwah, american dynamics and axis cameras for years, great piece of kit.
While probably not "federal agency" compliant; I used to hobby installing NightOwl kits that were only a few hundred USD. These things had local recording base stations and optional wireless cameras that were decent near lossless 1080p with night-vision. Remote-in was optional in the base station settings if you linked it to the network and enabled it. From there you could E2E encrypt it and view via IP access to the base station. Loved them. Hate all the "cheap" spyware surveillance systems these days, and I warn anyone planning on getting them.
best explanation video for this type of camera💯%
For home use I've got Duahua and some other strays to include Wyze with a bridge. Security is simple, the IP cams aren't allowed to talk past the firewall. I VPN in for remote viewing with BlueIris. The light gathering ability of the new stuff is amazing, even the cheapie Wyze cams that are now weatherproof work well!
Been using Surveillance Station for a few years with a few different manufacturer cameras. I was really excited to see these cameras released. I was willing to pay a premium, and be locked in on the platform, for ease of use/management but I am not impressed with the quality of these TC/BC 500 cameras. I've installed four. Two needed to be replaced due to image distortion then one of the replacements died within a week of being installed. I don't have the time to be dealing with quality issues on a camera in this price point. On to something else...
I can't wait to Ship My Pants...🇺🇸 😎👍☕ "In the back of my NAS..." -Wendell ..I'm sorry, after those comments, this video was like watching the "Rocky Horror" in the theater.
Editor Autumn showing off in this one and I love it! Lol
All the out the box solutions from Synology really make it good value. You get an included backup solution for your hypervisor (windows or ESXi) this alone is value one you compare to some of the paid solutions
Veeam has a free "community version" that allows 10 VM/server backups or something like that
@@marcogenovesi8570 yes. This is also a great option with up to 10 servers. Their older community version was not limited to 10 but did not allow scheduling of backups. I used that version until my ESXi version upgraded and broke it. That’s when I found the option built into my NAS
I do like the Synology security
Would like to see your thoughts on Frigate NVR as an alternative for the homelabber - AI based detection and recording but it's all open source and configurable, and plugs into any old IP camera that supports RTSP
Frigate is great. It's more affordable too. No need to deal with camera licence BS and you can run on any kind of server
there are loads of NVR software (open or closed) that are better than Synology
Love this video!
Something you want when you want to do your groceries with your Epyc Xeon threadripper 😁
They seem to be in very low supply, being replaced with new models soon?
You really get into the details Wendell, but I wanted to know what they taste like?🤪😁
Thank you
Oh man the fan noise is killing me on this one
Wow, who made that software? KDE???
❤️ 😂that Pants 👖 commercial
I have thinking to get camera, but there are too much WiFi + cloud service + phone app systems what I try avoid...
What is the “entity” list?
If only they made PTZ versions of these.
lovely info ty
Yes, these cameras come with a 'free' license.. but they are expensive!
do i need that swtich for only two cameras? a 40€ 5 port poe switch is enough?
Would this work with an old Synology box like the ds212j?
Anyone know what keyboard that is?
Isn't that Microsoft white on white motif a really good idea? I can barely see what the window has in it - it's all whited out. I long for the days when Windows had normal windows with nicely shaped buttons (and not just white on white squares and the dialog boxes were actually visible.
The Microsoft Windows Interface has sucked since Windows 8. White on white is a bad idea.
Are the surveillance HDDs worth the price premium over regular enterprise drives? Like the Seagate SkyHawks?
No. Enterprise drives are already superior
Premium? Usually the surveillance hdd are cheaper than a regular nas drive or enterprise grade drive
How is your experience with Synology regarding security issues and timely updates/fixes?
Voice recognition doesn't work well if you have a blaccent. (It doesn't speak jive.)
Made in Taiwan with Taiwanese ICs by Novatek, real security from the ground up, not another CCP camera, China free!
Taiwan is China. Even Taiwan claims this. The difference is, the PRC doesn't claim to control Taiwan. They apply the "one government two systems" policy which allows the ROC to govern Taiwan.
Taiwan on the other hand, claims that they are the legitimate rulers of all of mainland China and island of Taiwan.
Of course, the US and western countries likes that because Taiwan is subservient to the US and the West while China is subservient to no one and therefore not part of the "rules based order" where US makes the rules and orders everyone else to follow.
@@GR3YS0RG4N1CS Consider that the relationship between the US and the UK is analogous to that of China and Taiwan. In 1776, the United States declared its independence from the UK, marking the culmination of a revolutionary war. Similarly, in 1949, China declared its independence from Taiwan, ending their civil war. In both instances, the larger, younger country-China and the United States-separated from an older, already independent island nation-Taiwan and the UK, respectively.
The idea of a country already independent-such as the UK or Taiwan-declaring independence again is incongruous. Just as it is accepted that the UK doesn't need to declare independence from the USA, Taiwan should not need to declare independence from China, because both island nations were already recognized as independent entities when the younger countries separated. The scenario of the United States asserting that the UK belongs to it, or the idea of Taiwan "reunifying" with China, appears just as absurd to the Taiwanese. It's akin to the idea of the UK "reunifying" with the USA, a notion most would consider ridiculous.
This parallelism extends beyond just the political, with linguistic similarities further supporting the analogy. The differences between Taiwanese Mandarin and Chinese Mandarin are reminiscent of the variances between British English and American English. In each case, a local speaker can readily identify whether someone is Chinese or Taiwanese, or British or American, by the initial utterances made.
By examining these historical, political, and linguistic aspects, we gain a deeper truth, fostering a more comprehensive perspective.
Call me a purist but an application aware NAS is a cheat. A NAS or a SAN should be dumb network storage - agnostic. If it knows about the data it's holding then it's not a true NAS or SAN, it's an application server (SQL, Email, File & print, etc.)
So many NAS computers are movie servers or security camera servers and are therefore, not NAS appliances, in my opinion.
So instead of Chinese & other intel agencies being able to get into your cameras, only the NSA will be able to :)
without internet access it's a bit complex
@@marcogenovesi8570 Oh, my sweet, summer child...
@@thelimatheou Not even the NAS needs internet access. It's generally good practice to keep the NVR servers/PC isolated from the internet as well. Now explain how someone can get into something that is physically airgapped
@@marcogenovesi8570 I see reading comprehension isn't your strong point...
@@thelimatheou sorry I can't read trolling. Can you give me an answer please?
This feels like a Synologoy sponsored shill type video... not cool wendie not cool
These appear to be locked down to Synology NAS compatibility only. Can't use these elsewhere which essentially makes them a walled garden experience. No Thanks!
They are the apple of soho servers! Or maybe they are half the apple where the other half is ubiquity
@@burntnougat5341 Ubiquity is the Apple of networking.
@@marcogenovesi8570righto!
Yep. I was looking for some mention of ONVIF. Unsurprisingly I haven't found anything.
Should also note if youre a company bidding on government contracts and will handle CUI for that contract you cant have banned entity hardware ANYWHERE on your network.
I was wondering when the update was coming for that video. Great stuff Wendell!
AXIS cameras all default to .90
if not preconfigured expect conflicts
I am hearing a high pitch tone on the video that is a bit annoying
yes WE ARE WATCHING YOU. Look behind you.

i have a short question, i installed a new hdd into my system but the bios gives a message that they detectet a new processor. also windows dosent recognize the drive, what can i do to fix that?
B should be bullet, T should be for turret...or not. 🤷♂️
Anyways those form factors are mostly used and called for surveillance cameras. 😉
Thst banned camera looks like the cameras my workplace recently put up. They probably won’t tell me what brand they are
As usual, your content is very useful.
I do have a question, when you talk about the cameras "phoning home", to whom are they phoning home, and what are they sending?
I don't want to set up a separate network just for the camera, I just want to connect them to my home LAN and make them available to Surveillance Station.

13:27 What just happened?
Once again from my branch to yours Synology changing the game of ip surveillance networking and creating spontaneous trajectory for smbs , homes, and infrastructure across the globe and shouts out to level one for those bars of innovation $.
