AI Video Analytics That Actually Work
Powered by Synology's deep learning engine, our camera systems don't just watch — they understand. Here's what AI surveillance can do for your business.
People Detection & Tracking
The system uses deep learning neural networks — the same technology behind facial recognition on your phone — to identify human shapes with precision. Unlike basic motion detection that triggers on any movement (cars, animals, trees, shadows), people detection fires only when it sees a person.
Use Cases
- After-hours intrusion alerts — know immediately when someone shouldn't be there
- Staff monitoring in restricted areas
- Retail loss prevention — detect loitering near high-value merchandise
- Construction site security — unauthorized access during off-hours
Vehicle Detection & Counting
Separate from people detection, the vehicle analytics identify cars, trucks, and vans approaching your property. Program the system to alert you only during specific hours — a delivery truck at 2 PM is normal, but a vehicle in your parking lot at 3 AM deserves attention.
Use Cases
- Parking lot monitoring and capacity tracking
- After-hours vehicle intrusion alerts
- Loading dock management
- Traffic pattern analysis for retail locations
Face Recognition
Build a custom database of up to 10,000 face profiles. The system identifies individuals in real time with over 97% accuracy (validated by NIST testing). Create categories — Staff, VIPs, Blocked — and set different alert rules for each.
Use Cases
- Identify known shoplifters or banned individuals on entry
- Track employee access to restricted areas
- VIP customer identification for personalized service
- Attendance and timecard verification
Intrusion Detection Zones
Draw custom virtual boundaries directly on your camera feed — straight lines, polygons, or complex shapes. The AI monitors these boundaries and triggers alerts when a person or vehicle crosses them. You control the rules: people only, vehicles only, both, or different rules for different times of day.
Use Cases
- Perimeter fencing — virtual tripwire along property lines
- Restricted area monitoring (server rooms, stockrooms, equipment areas)
- Driveway and entrance monitoring
- Time-based rules (open during business hours, locked down at night)
Smart Search & Time Lapse
Need to find out who was at the back door last Tuesday at 3 PM? Synology's Smart Search lets you draw a box around any area of any camera feed and instantly find every event that occurred there. Combine it with Smart Time Lapse to compress 24 hours into a few minutes, jumping directly to the moments that matter.
Use Cases
- Incident investigation — find specific events in seconds, not hours
- Inventory discrepancy resolution
- Employee dispute documentation
- Daily security review in minutes instead of hours
Mobile & Remote Access
The Synology DS Cam app puts your entire surveillance system in your pocket. View live feeds, get push notifications with AI-triggered snapshots, review and download recordings, and manage camera settings — all from your phone or tablet, anywhere with an internet connection.
Use Cases
- Live view of all cameras simultaneously
- Push notifications with event snapshots
- Full recording playback and download
- Pan/tilt/zoom control for PTZ cameras
- Home Mode — auto-enable when you leave the premises via WiFi detection

Most security camera companies sell you hardware and walk away. We design, install, configure the AI, train you on the system, and provide ongoing support. That's the Balzer difference.
