Synology improves video management with Surveillance Station 7.1 Beta

The new version of this video management system delivers increased performance and an improved video surveillance experience in distributed environments with real-time streaming protocol (Rtsp), multicast support, as well as improved settings and notifications.

Surveillance Station 7.1 beta is the latest version of the video distribution system Synology delivering improved performance for security environments with distributed resources.

Jaime Castro, CEO of Synology Mexico, stresses that the company "is committed to developing a powerful video monitoring solution, efficient and easy to use. We've modified Surveillance Station's mechanisms and performance 7 so that large and small businesses can take advantage of a more fluid and carefully designed surveillance experience".

Among the new features of Surveillance Station 7.1 beta highlights RTSP support, that increases video streaming performance to provide an even smoother experience when monitoring at Surveillance Station or DS cam (for iOS devices). In addition, developers can take advantage of RTSP support to also integrate video streaming into third-party systems.

Another novelty is multicast support, that improves bandwidth efficiency when there are numerous usage scenarios, by reducing workload and bandwidth consumption when running Surveillance Station in environments where multiple customers watch video channels, so that multiple security personnel can monitor different workstations at the same time and live without affecting system performance.

Advanced live alerts and notifications have also been improved to streamline video management in large-scale surveillance deployments with hundreds of cameras. Live View Analytics alerts are displayed on cameras that are not included in the Live View. Events can also be highlighted directly in an e-map, so that users can see the camera and the location of these suspicious events immediately.

Added to this is solid CMS performance and stability. Surveillance Station 7.1 increases the speed at which recordings and event information are transferred from recording servers, thanks to the improvement of the database structure and the sum of multiple dedicated links between the main server and the recording ones. In addition, renewed license management improves stability in CMS use.

Improved onvif support also provides greater flexibility, because it not only provides native integration for source recording (saving the video files to the same camera) on some models, but now supports recording at source on many more models thanks to Onvif Profile G. In addition, Improvements to Onvif Profile S make it easier to find and add Surveillance Station-compatible cameras with the Onvif Search option, resulting in greater flexibility and easier installation of the video surveillance system.
