Is anyone using this camera with Synology Surveillance Station? If so, how is it working?

I am using it on the DS411J. It works fine. Synology comes with 2 software licenses. I also purchased 3 more so I can run 5 cameras.

I got the same camera and it works fine. Note that the camera is powered by the ethernet cable. To send power over the ethernet I used a POE switch.

I'm not sure about that as I haven't used Synology. If Synology supports the standard PoE (802.3af protocol) and ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface) protocols, most probably, it'll work. It has better video quality and its IR reaches more distance than my WiFi DB Power IP Camera. I knew that WiFi cameras are not that good yet as compared to wired, PoE or non-PoE, but I don't have a way to run a cable from my router to the front of the garage so I used WiFi camera. If you could run a cable, don't use WiFi camera.

I only have mine taking snap shot alarms. I'd call FOSCAM to see how you record the output. It would probably take a dedicated computer with LOTS of memory.

The latest version of Synology's Surveillance Station finally support this model.

I'm using a Foscam FI8910W and it is working just fine. Connecting it wasn't the most intuitive, but once I figured it out it works fine.

Huacam is NOT on the Synology supported camera list. [See https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/camera] And, even though I believe that it could work with their system, I would not get it until Synology supports it.

I'd check out iSpy (www.ispyconnect.com) for the software. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for cameras. This model has a known flaw of dropping connection and rebooting continually when pointed at bright colors or highly complex visual areas.

My wife uses Lightroom via a drive mapping and it works fine. The Synology is the mapped drive and shows up as a network drive. Make sure you are using a wired network because a wireless network could impact throughput.

So I believe that camera talks over port 1024 do you know what I'm talking about?? Reason I say that is I set one up and only opened 1024 thru the firewall. Grab the cameras ip address and perform a port scan ending your the top of your range @ 1025 cuz there are 65k+ ports. So paper clip it it before you start in case it's messed up & let me know & will see what happens, feel free to ping me

Only with IP based dvr, like iSpy. Analog based dvr like Swann or Lorex will not work.

from my knowledge no its not -i have the foscam and i have no way of linking them together.It would however really enhance your security system in having video surveillance

I use it with Sensr.net. It's an NVR in the cloud. One month storage, $9.95 for the first camera, $4.95 for additional cameras.

I use SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) for ease and simplicity. Behaving fine since I booted it up. http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS213%2B〈=us#p_submenu

The Insteon 75790 IP cam will do that no problem at all. I use mine inside and strategically mounted mine to observes most common areas of my home. And receive instant notifications with up to 6 images.

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!
