Synology Diskstation & Cameras. The integration I have implemented uses local network access to connect to the Diskstation and allows creation of camera devices. The camera devices support taking of pictures, triggering recording on the NAS, and motion detection. Camera movement, presets, patrols, and zoom are also supported.
Many users buy a NAS solution to fulfil a surveillance need in their home or business. Both Synology and QNAP arrive with comprehensive Surveillance solutions – both called Surveillance station (though different software), that provide excellent NVR support.They feature:

- Fully control via the desktop and mobile interface to Pan, Tilt and Zoom the cameras over the internet
- E-Map creation means you can make a blueprint of your area of surveillance (office/home) and a more 3d control to your environment

How much are Camera Licences?

Which brings me to the Licences – Why do you need to pay for more licences? Most Synology and QNAP NAS arrive with 2 Licences included with your device, which unless you are taking Network Attached Surveillance very seriously will be enough for basic home needs. However if you want to expand your NVR NAS camera availability further you are of course able to purchase more licences. You can buy QNAP and Synology licences from SPAN.COM and cost as follows:
| 1x Key = £38 | 1x Key = £38 |
| 4x Keys = £150 | 4x Keys = £129 |
| 8x Keys = £296 | N/A |
Why do QNAP and Synology NAS charge more for the additional licences?
Well, the surveillance software is free with your NAS and has no subscription fee for consistent use. It is a 24/7 and 52 weeks a year program and requires a large degree of support externally from your device to be fully accessible and reliable online at all times. Unsurprisingly, the more cameras you use, the larger the load and therefore to subsidise this and keep costs low for those that just need lite service, additional camera licences above the ones included with your NAS purchase are on a paid basis.

Can I get more free camera licences?
Larger NAS uints (especially from QNAP and in their Rackmount NAS range) sometimes arrive with 4 or 8 IP Camera licences (as these units are premium priced to start with and are aimed at all business uses) so if you are buying a NAS for surveillance needs, then buying a bigger and more powerful NAS can often save you money in the long run if you are thinking about 4 cameras and above.
Aside from that you are not able to obtain further free licences, nor can you take the licences that arrive free with one NAS and use them on another, as the licence key is hard-wired to that device.
You can of course use alternative methods to set up your own standalone surveillance solution or integrate it into your home PC – but the paid licence prices are aimed at those who want a straight forward and easy solution that is guaranteed by Synology and QNAP.
So it comes down to buy the licence and take the easy route, or work around the problem / alternative to NAS and save the money

Synology Surveillance License
I do not hold this person responsible for what appears to be such a high price for licensing. I believe it is entirely a Synology issue. Nonetheless, I will say that this person who has sold the license to me was very helpful by being quick to respond to my question and upon purchasing, sent me my license in my email within a couple of minutes tops.Here is the key for all who would purchase this license: You may end up searching all over the Internet for the best pricing for these licenses. I did. This is the best price and you get the license immediately if you request it.I do not think that the price is a good value but it is the least expensive available out there. Unfortunately, there is very little competition out there which would have driven the costs down.Nonetheless, this is the definitive place to get your license right now and you don't need to go around wasting your time. Just get it here and do not blame the person for what appears to be such a high price when others are charging sugnificantlymore and you will have to wait days for the license to come in via snail mail.I hope this helps.
