Synology NAS Setup Guide Part 5 - Surveillance, IP Cameras and NVR

Of all the companies in the industry of network-attached storage, few are as secretive as Synology. Whether you are an in the industry of network appliances and storage, the in-house IT guy, or a professional consumer (prosumer) who is just in the market for a new piece of kit, finding out information on the latest hardware and software releases from Synology NAS can often be rather difficult. I have been covering pretty much any and all new releases from Synology NAS for a few years now and although they are always rather secretive at the best of times, things are especially oblique in this latest generation of 2020 and 2021 range. There are lots of reasons for this, ranging from their brand's own elusive reputation to share information till the last moment, to the impact of natural disasters in the east and world spreads of Convid-19 having an impact on manufacturers as they either preemptively close/lower staff numbers, or are in areas of a large impact. So, today I wanted to run down everything we know about the software and hardware that we know is coming for 2020/2021 in the Synology portfolio, as well as update as much as I can as time goes on.

This description contains links to and Amazon. These links will take you to some of the products mentioned in today's video.

I already have a dedicated NVR but want to use the synology NAS as storage since the NVR's drives are already full. Is it possible? How can I do it?

Are there any solar powered wifi cams compatible with Synology

Hi, will using this software keep all the hard drives spinning ? My thoughts being if all drives are kept spinning, this adds to wear... or can one drive of a multi bay nas be selected, which could house a survalence drive, while the other bays could have a normal nas drives and be allowed to sleep ? This has stopped me buying a nas the last few months. Any clarification is appreciated :)
