In surveillance applications, losing even a single frame can mean missing crucial details, affecting event reconstruction and security accuracy. However, due to their wireless nature, Wi-Fi cameras are susceptible to network fluctuations, leading to unstable video transmission and even frame loss. To address this issue, Synology has developed Seamless Recording Recovery (SRR) technology, which leverages edge recording to automatically recover lost footage caused by network instability, ensuring the continuity of surveillance video. Core Mechanisms of Video Transmission and Network Challenges for Wi-Fi Cameras In surveillance systems, real-time video transmission is critical and relies on multiple protocols and technologies to ensure

Managing projects, tracking progress, and communicating tasks are daily essentials for organizations, with many turning to productivity SaaS solutions to enable real-time collaboration and drive business growth. However, using multiple services can scatter files, reduce efficiency, and increase the risk of data leaks. Additionally, maintaining various platforms is costly in terms of time and resources for IT teams. According to a report by Varonis, over 80% of organizations have unintentionally exposed sensitive data through SaaS productivity tools. This alarming statistic reveals that data leaks could potentially lead to losses exceeding $28 million USD for a single company, highlighting a critical

In 2021, cybersecurity firm Cyfirma uncovered a critical security flaw in a leading surveillance manufacturer's software, potentially allowing unauthorized control of surveillance cameras. Despite a swift security patch, over 80,000 cameras remained at risk a year later. Malicious groups exploited these vulnerabilities, targeting the infrastructure and services of enterprises across more than a hundred countries and impacting over 2,300 organizations. The primary purpose of surveillance systems is to protect physical assets, but inadequate security or poor management can turn the surveillance system into a vulnerability that exposes businesses to data breaches and cybersecurity threats. Therefore, the meticulous management of these

Software vulnerabilities are among the most commonly exploited breaches by cybercriminals, from the SolarWinds attack impacting over 18,000 organizations to the Log4j vulnerability affecting over 48.3 percent of organizations globally. Vendors’ security risk management abilities are being challenged now more than ever before. When it comes to security risk management, incident response is usually the first thing that comes to mind. While it is crucial to have an incident response plan in place to address the aftermath of a breach, it is equally important to prioritize software security at the development stage to prevent such incidents from occurring in the

Simply listing the new features in Surveillance Station 9.0 belies the magnitude of improvements to our video surveillance suite. As we release the ninth iteration of one of our signature products, we are proud to say that users large and small will find securing their premises an altogether more pleasant and integrated experience.

An all-new experience When you first access the new Surveillance Station, what you’ll immediately notice is the sleek dark interface. Adopting many users’ preferred look is one small way we are making monitoring a better experience, but

This post was updated on July 7, 2025 Work pressure and irregular staffing make any holiday or travel season the perfect occasion for threat actors. Besides direct attacks on your infrastructure, phishing and other scams targeting employees become more successful through exploiting communication and staffing gaps. Routine maintenance also becomes more difficult with fewer (qualified) hands to do the job. And if there are any remote or hybrid employees in the mix, it looks like you (sysadmin, tech consultant, designated IT person) will be the go-to person, even if you’re technically away on the beach somewhere along the equator. But

The past years have seen a dramatic escalation in cybersecurity threats. According to a report by The New York Times, more than 200,000 organizations were attacked with ransomware in 2019, a 41% rise from the year before. To help you protect yourself, we’ve compiled a list of important data security settings that are often overlooked. At the end we’ve included bonus tips that could help you ensure data integrity -- another pillar of data protection. Note: Most of the settings listed below can only be accessed and modified by a user account with administrative rights. Tip 1: Disable the default

More and more enterprises are employing bug bounty programs to make their products and services more secure and reliable. The concept of this program is to crowdsource information security from researchers who report security vulnerabilities that may incur irretrievable damage and are previously unknown to potentially affected companies. Those who submit vulnerability reports which are later validated by security analysts can receive monetary rewards. This concept starts to gain ground, and the world’s tech giants, such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook launched similar programs aimed at enlisting the help of researchers across the globe in finding out potential security flaws that
