With Surveillance Station, users can easily manage & monitor multiple IP cameras on a real-time basis using web browsers, and attain first-hand status of monitored areas. You can directly manage your PTZ and fisheye cameras and flexibly monitor every desired area and detail. With default display modes and user-defined views, you can easily and flexibly manage your surveillance system.
QNAP’s Qdewarp is a generic fisheye dewarp technology that works without affecting original recordings. With Qdewarp, if the fisheye camera is on our capability list, you can choose from many dewarping modes in the remote monitoring page for various monitoring applications, and are not limited to vendor-specific dewarping modes.
For more information, please refer to the tutorial.
Megapixel cameras have become mainstream for larger recording areas and higher resolution footages. You can define a focused area, such as an exit, as a virtual camera on the Surveillance Settings page. You can simulate up to four virtual cameras as extended cameras of a physical camera. No additional camera licenses are required. You can view physical cameras and virtual cameras in the same view.
For more information, please refer to the tutorial.
High-resolution cameras (such as 4K) can cover a much larger area than traditional ones. We support ROI mode on the remote monitoring page. If you want to see the original image and multiple regional images from the same camera in one view, you can select a 5 or 7 split view to define multiple focused areas on the overview image. No additional camera licenses are required.
For more information, please refer to the tutorial.
Fisheye cameras provide 360° surround views with a 1:1 aspect ratio. Different megapixel cameras can support different resolutions and aspect ratios, such as Full HD (16:9), QXGA (4:3), and AXIS’s 9:16 corridor format. You can select & drag a physical camera (fixed, PTZ, or fisheye camera) or even a virtual camera to one grid of your defined layout in Surveillance Settings. With view management, you can customize your own layouts and views for different monitoring purposes and locations, not limited to default display modes. In the remote monitoring page, you can then select your defined views to monitor focused cameras and areas immediately.

The Surveillance Station provides flexible options to set up IP camera recording, including smart recording and dual recording. The smart recording function can automatically switch the recording detail to a higher resolution when alarms are triggered. This greatly saves the cost spent on hard drives. The dual recording function can record higher and lower video streams at the same time. You can select the recordings to playback depending on the network environment. For greater efficiency, the Surveillance Station provides an intuitive playback interface for easier playback control and more dewarping modes.
If you always have low-bandwidth connections, you can enable the dual recording function to save both higher and lower recordings for further use. Please refer to our camera compatibility list to find dual-recording compatible cameras.
QNAP’s Qdewarp is a generic fisheye dewarp technology that works without affecting original recordings. With Qdewarp, if the fisheye camera is on our capability list, you can choose from many dewarping modes in the remote monitoring page for post-alarm diagnosis, and are not limited to vendor-specific dewarping modes.
For more information, please refer to the tutorial.
If you want to find out alarm events from one camera, average time-divided playback is a better way. You can designate a channel for average time-divided playback. This can be divided into 4-channel or 9-channel display modes. If you select the 9-channel display mode, the system will divide the chosen footage into 9 segments and play each segment on one channel (for a total of 9 channels) for playback. You can see the recordings from different times to quickly find alarm events.
The Surveillance Station offers an innovative desktop design to compliment smooth working efficiency. The multi-window design allows concurrent multi-tasking, and enables administrators to easily switch between tasks to increase productivity. The Surveillance Station also provides user-friendly options for you to easily set up a surveillance system.
If you need to deploy multiple NASs with similar camera settings, you can save time in installing and configuring cameras by exporting settings from NAS 1 and importing them to other NASs.
To adjust your recording parameters on multiple cameras, you normally would need to repeat settings for each camera. You can preview up to 3 video settings at once before applying them.
Surveillance Station 5.1 supports multiple mainstream web browsers. You can also access real-time monitoring and video playback via Mac/Windows utilities without using a web browser. Simply upgrade your QNAP NAS to QTS 4.2 (or newer version), and you can enjoy a smoother video surveillance experience.
The Vmobile mobile app enables you to monitor the Surveillance Station anytime and anywhere using iOS and Android devices. It provides camera live-view, PTZ control, instant event notifications, video snapshot, video playback, and video search by date and time.
The Vcam mobile app can turn your mobile device into a network camera. With the Vcam mobile app, you could record any moment around you to your Turbo NAS. The Vcam solution provides a great way to deploy a home surveillance system without purchasing expensive IP cameras.
