At this year's Computex expo, Synology has presented more than a few products, including the new upcoming Data Protect devices with a brand new ActiveProtect Manager, as well as the new GridStation lineup.
On top of that, the new upcoming C2 Surveillance Station and the new C2-only cameras were also discussed. Because of the new Surveillance Station platform soon to be officially rolled out, Synology also decided to rebrand the already existing surveillance footage backup platform.
C2 Surveillance becomes C2 Backup for Surveillance
The commercial functionality of Synology Surveillance Station DSM package offers the option to backup footage to their C2 cloud platform. Considering that there will now be both Synology Surveillance Station (platform running on the NAS and DVA devices) and C2 Surveillance Station, the backup surveillance platform got a new name, C2 Backup for Surveillance.
Like C2 Backup, a platform used to back up endpoint devices to the cloud, C2 Backup for Surveillance will continue to serve as a backup for our NAS/DVA surveillance footage if we choose to do so.
While prices for the basic plan have not changed, the advanced plan jumped by about 16% for the same resolution and number of retention days. A new plan was also introduced and that would be the professional one. It offers 24/7 continuous recordings as well as up to 180 days of retention if needed.
Along with the three subscription plans, there are multiple combinations within each depending on the resolution and number of retention days. For more exact details and values be sure to check the pricing on the official page.
The web interface and integration remain as it was while the platform was running under the old name, so no major changes have happened on that front.
Today Synology also released an official YT video as a quick introduction.
