What is the QNAP Surveillance Station?
The QNAP Surveillance Station stands as a professional network surveillance video management system (VMS). It’s an integral application of the Turbo NAS standard, which can be activated on the QTS App Center.
This transformation turns the Turbo NAS into a high-functioning network video recorder (NVR) system. Its capabilities include real-time monitoring, recording, playback, alarm notifications, intelligent video analytics (IVA), and comprehensive management. These features work in tandem with supported IP cameras to safeguard assets and properties effectively.
Key functionalities of the QNAP Surveillance Station include:
- Live-view capability: The system supports the real-time management and monitoring of multiple IP cameras. This function is crucial for properties like retail stores, hotels, construction sites, and offices. Users can manage PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) functions and enjoy various remote monitoring modes, displaying multiple channels on a single screen.
- Recording options: Surveillance Station provides various recording modes, such as continuous, motion-detection, and scheduled recording. This flexibility allows users to tailor their recording settings to match their security needs.
- Playback and instant review: Users can easily review recent feeds through the “Instant Playback” feature. This function allows for quick checks of suspicious events without needing to switch to a separate playback page.
- E-map for visual aid: An E-map function is available to visualize the layout of IP camera deployment. This tool is invaluable when identifying camera locations, especially in the event of an alarm.
- Cross-platform support: The Surveillance Station is accessible via major web browsers and has a client application for Mac users, ensuring a seamless experience across different platforms.
Instant notifications: The system alerts users to alarm events, displaying an icon on the monitoring page for quick access to alert details.
