Synology has expanded its service portfolio with the launch of the C2 Surveillance, a new Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) solution. This solution is designed to offer cloud monitoring that is serverless, fast to deploy, and non-disruptive, with multi-site scalability. C2 Surveillance is built to simplify surveillance deployment and management, particularly for operations across multiple locations. A key highlight is that it has no device license requirements, allowing users to add cameras without concerns about additional costs or constraints.
“Our goal has always been to build a comprehensive surveillance ecosystem that enables seamless integration and management for our customers. With the addition of C2 Surveillance, customers now have the flexibility to deploy their surveillance solutions entirely on-premises or in the cloud, depending on their unique requirements,” said Josh Lin, Director of Synology’s Surveillance Group.
