    Can I set up Synology NAS for liveview & playback with Accusense alerting directly from Camera?

    I wish to setup a DS-2CD2347G2-LU with a Synology NAS / Surveillance Station rather than a NVR. Synology SS only supports a generic Hikvision ONVIF profile with no profile for my specific model. In any event the Synology does not support the advanced Accusense alerting features on this camera...

    Hello, I bought a Chinese Dahua IPC-HFW5431R-Z that supposedly replaces the IPC-HFW4431R-Z. Some time ago I had tested the IPC-HFW4431R-Z and it was working with Synology SurveillanceStation as generic dahua, including zoom. With the same settings the newer 5431 cannot be zoomed from the...

    Modified Synology SS .conf file for Hikvision 2CD2135F-IS and or 2CD2145F-IS models?

    I've been using the Onvif generic config so far during testing, which works ok but doesn't allow a direct camera stream in liveview or on mobile. It's also not possible to add Onvif cameras in batches, which is a handy feature. I think there are quite a few other settings and options missing as...
