Storage and security hardware vendor Synology has announced two new cameras, the BC500 and TC500, versatile all-weather bullet and turret cameras for smart surveillance. They feature advanced AI capabilities, exceptional video quality, and seamless integration with Synology Surveillance Station.

The two new Synology BC500 and TC500 cameras are IP cameras, coming in two different casing and mounting options to ensure you can place them where you need to. The BC500 bullet form factor is suitable for outdoor surveillance, while the ceiling-mounted TC500 turret camera will suit inside use.

They're no ordinary cameras, however. Synology has packed them with a 110° horizontal viewing angle and five-megapixel sensors with 2880x1620 resolution at 30 frames per second. The end result is detailed, smooth video with wide coverage to give you clarity, detail, and context on just what's going on. You can use them for offices, homes, and even corridors and hallways, large open spaces like warehouses and parking lots, and diverse environments such as a museum no matter whether it is day or night. They are also IP67 rated for dust and water protection, have a night vision range of up to 30 metres, and provide multi-exposure HDR capability.

In addition, both cameras come equipped with on-camera AI capabilities that provide timely and accurate alerts enabling faster incident response. They can detect people, vehicles and intrusions rapidly, while also providing instant search to help you identify potential threats, quickly investigate areas of interest, and track down and retrieve relevant footage.

"The BC500 and TC500 are excellent IP cameras for any business or organization," said Synology product manager for cameras Lori Hsieh. "Combining these cameras with Synology Surveillance Station provides an unparalleled user experience. From deployment to monitoring and archiving of footage, advanced functionality is made easily accessible to customers, ensuring that their security needs are met at all times."

Both cameras will work effortlessly with Synology's Surveillance Station security product helping you manage the camera's configuration and network settings all from within the software. What's more, Synology cameras don't require any device license purchases or activation - they simply work directly with Surveillance Station right out-of-the-box.

The cameras are NDAA and TAA compliant, which means they are a safe choice, meeting the standards and security requirements set by the US Federal Government for its own procurement processes. Additionally, the cameras have failover edge storage to ensure continuous recording in case of connectivity issues, encrypt video and data via HTTPS and SRTP, and will come with online firmware updates.

The TC500 is also IK10-rated for impact resistance and both cameras come with a three-year warranty.

The Synology BC500 is available now, and the TC500 will be available from April 2023.
