The challenge
The press partners of Netzwelt must be sure that their equipment are adequately guarded during the loan to Netzwelt. Thus, it's important to obtain a surveillance solution that's easy to manage and transmits video streaming in high quality and friction-free. Implementation cost is another key factor that should be taken into consideration. While the implementation of necessary infrastructure is crucial to achieve property safety, the expenditure should still be kept at a modest range. However, for small and medium enterprises, budget often hinders against an easy-to-install solution.
The solution
Netzwelt uses Synology DiskStation in combination with Synology VisualStation, and Axis IP cameras to monitor the editorial office in Hamburg. The in-house technicians use a central television to view the video streams. The advantage of the solution is that, with up to 9 IP cameras deployed, the VisualStation offers visual control over all company's premises, from entrance to each floor. The DiskStation offers a single interface for complete video surveillance, which includes efficient viewing experience with various IP cameras and the ability to customize recording schedule with specific time periods. The operating system, DiskStation manager, offers mobile apps that provide storage access and property surveillance on-the-move.
The result
Synology's versatile monitoring solution allows Netzwelt to monitor office buildings with flexibility. Mobile app allows administrators to live view on the go. With the integration of DiskStation, there's no need to use a PC as a 24/7 monitoring and surveillance recording server. VS80 also allows pure monitoring experience without the requirement of an additional PC server. Asides the well-rounded functionalities of surveillance, the other conventional NAS functions can also be operated in parallel.
