- Flexible layout: Drag and drop, resize, and even swap video feeds freely to create a monitoring dashboard that fits your needs
- I/O widgets: Move essential controls to your dashboard to easily initiate actions, such as activating sirens and speakers or locking and unlocking doors
- Automated alerts: Keep a real-time list of detected events across your deployment conveniently on hand and click to synchronize all camera playbacks to each time point
Your Cameras at a Glance
With Maps, you can know at a glance where cameras are placed, events are
triggered, and more with an intuitive multi-floor and multi-site map view.
Better Situational Awareness With Maps
Dynamic maps not only help you determine camera and event locations, but also
provide instant access to video feeds for more efficient site monitoring.
- Multi-location alerts: Preview triggered events directly on the map with automatic zoom features to bring the most important views into focus
- Multi-floor layouts: Group floor plans together for a clearer understanding of where cameras are located and events happen
- Online map integration: Directly overlay your cameras and building layouts onto Google Maps or OpenStreetMap for better situational awareness even across multiple or larger sites
Smarter Site Security
Synology DVA and Surveillance Station elevate video surveillance into a real-
time security solution, providing instant feedback and notifications.
Actionable Insights and Automated Actions
Advanced deep learning-based algorithms built into the DVA3221 convert
unstructured video data into business intelligence and security insights, to
bolster and automate security.
- Facial recognition: Instantly identify people from a custom database with an accuracy of 97.04%5
- People and vehicle detection: Notify staff when people or vehicles loiter in a predefined area, such as a no-parking zone or near a storefront
- People and vehicle counting: Count the number of people or vehicles entering and leaving an area using bidirectional counters for safety or analysis purposes
- Intrusion detection: Detect when people or vehicles cross a perimeter line and issue alerts to warn of potential intrusions
- License plate recognition: Monitor vehicles entering and leaving your premises, with the option to preconfigure different automated actions for allowed or blocked vehicles6
- Congestion alerts: Avoid overcrowding in designated areas by detecting when the number of people transiting or staying within a self-defined perimeter crosses a set threshold
Surveillance on the Go
With DS cam, you can watch surveillance video feeds, take snapshots, zoom in
and adjust camera position with PTZ controls, browse through recorded events,
use two-way audio to communicate, and receive alerts while on the go.
Powerful Video Management Platform
Powered by Synology Surveillance Station running on Synology DSM, the DVA3221
offers powerful and convenient video recording, management, and analysis
capabilities while making deployment of new or existing cameras fast and
efficient.
- Complete data ownership with zero subscription fees: All DVA3221 recordings are privately stored on the unit itself, free of charge
- Works with more than 8,300 cameras: Avoid vendor lock-in. Choose from a wider range of camera options to suit your requirements with ONVIF support1 and rapidly add or migrate devices in batch
- Remote monitoring and control: Access your surveillance system from anywhere with browser-based access, desktop clients, and mobile apps
- Automation & notification: Set up custom actions when predefined events occur, such as taking snapshots when motion is detected or opening a door when the system recognizes faces from the database. Get notified with e-mail, SMS, or push notifications so that you can respond in a timely manner
- Secure streams and storage: Use HTTPS and SRTP capable cameras to protect video streams against eavesdropping7, and encrypt video recordings with a special password to limit access to archives
Redundancy Options
Keep access to crucial surveillance footage following the destruction or
disconnection of your device with video backup, recording failover, and dual
recording to a secondary server or C2 Surveillance.
Central Surveillance Management
Monitor, manage, and protect multiple Synology Deep Learning NVR and NAS
systems from a single interface as part of a larger surveillance network over
multiple sites with a Surveillance Station Centralized Management Server
(CMS).
- Centralized monitoring: View and analyze streams from cameras connected to any of your recording servers in your central management host’s Monitor Center
- Remote updates: Check for and remotely install updates on all your systems directly from CMS for both offline and online servers
- Recording failover: Configure N+M failover to automatically switch over recording tasks to alternative servers in case of emergency for maximum service availability8
- Data protection: Back up footage between servers with Archive Vault or use Dual Recording to record footage on two servers simultaneously
