Say Goodbye to Bulky Boxes: Synology’s C2 Surveillance Ushers in an Era of Effortless Security.

Remember the days of clunky servers and dedicated network video recorders (NVRs) just to get your security cameras online? Those days are officially numbered, thanks to a major leap forward in video surveillance. VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service) is not just a trend; it’s the future, and Synology is leading the charge with its innovative C2 Surveillance platform.
A New Dawn for Video Security
Synology’s C2 Surveillance is engineered for a world without local servers or NVRs. This groundbreaking approach means you keep on-site hardware to an absolute minimum, shifting the heavy lifting to Synology’s robust cloud infrastructure. The benefits? Effortless scalability across multiple sites and a system designed for unwavering reliability.
This modern approach brings fantastic news for your budget. Capital expenditure plummets – no expensive NVRs or servers to purchase, simpler cabling, and reduced labor costs. Even better, Synology boasts that C2 offers operational expenditure savings that are more than 2.5 times greater than other VSaaS competitors and significantly higher than traditional legacy systems. It’s a one-stop-shop solution that simplifies your finances.
Smart, Seamless, and Secure
Designed for perfect harmony with Synology IP cameras, C2 Surveillance allows you to expand your system without the headache of additional licensing fees or complicated setups. Managing surveillance across different locations becomes remarkably faster and easier. With fewer physical components on-site, there are fewer points of failure. C2 Surveillance ensures continuous recording even if your local network goes down, and a failover offline mode keeps local monitoring active even without internet.
The good news keeps coming: users automatically receive system improvements, from new features to AI-powered detection enhancements, without needing any manual on-site intervention. It even includes a clever low-bandwidth mode that can cut data consumption in half.
Security is paramount. C2 Surveillance is built with security at its core, featuring AES-128 encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and granular user permissions. It adheres to key industry standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and NDAA. IT administrators will also appreciate the smooth integration with Windows Active Directory and role-based access control, making user management secure and straightforward.
Flexible and Future-Ready
C2 Surveillance also offers flexibility. You can opt for a hybrid model, using microSD cards for continuous local edge recording while leveraging the C2 cloud for secure backups. This platform is a key component of Synology’s comprehensive surveillance ecosystem, which also includes IP cameras and NVRs for those who prefer or require them.
Slated for release later this year, C2 Surveillance joins Synology’s expanding C2 family of cloud services, including C2 Password, C2 Backup, C2 Transfer, and C2 Identity.
If you’re looking for a modern, cost-effective video surveillance system that simplifies multi-location management, ensures constant monitoring, and provides robust, centralized control, then Synology’s C2 Surveillance is the exciting solution you’ve been waiting for.
