Powerful delegation settingsAssign recording servers to specific teams, making sure that each can only access footage from their assigned areas.Granular privilegesConfigure individual privilege profiles for each team member to clearly define responsibilities and lower the risk of data breaches.Learn moreSecure authenticationEnforce secure access methods with multi-factor authentication (MFA) or hardware security keys.Learn moreEnsuring data and service availabilityBuilt-in safeguards are crucial to protect people and assets in case primary surveillance servers or infrastructure become unavailable. Failover solutionsN+M failover allows flexible, automatic, or manual transfer of all cameras and settings to other servers in the deployment in the event an outage occurs with the primary server. Pair a dedicated failover server with multiple recording servers or assign multiple failover destinations for each recording server.Learn moreFlexible offsite archivingOne-to-one or one-to-many archival tasks can help retain larger volumes of recordings and minimize the risk of data loss by creating one or several offsite backup destinations. Configurable schedules and bandwidth limits help prevent backup tasks from impacting operations.Learn moreDual recordingRecord camera feeds to two locations simultaneously and retain access to critical footage from a secondary system should the primary server become inaccessible. Use a second Synology server or secure cloud recording with Synology C2 Backup for Surveillance for easy online playback and sharing.
