Assign Privileges
Go to System > Privilege under Management to manage and assign access privileges to IP cameras for DSM
users.
Install Camera License
Go to System > License under Management to manage camera license. With Default License, your
DiskStation can manage one camera within LAN. If your DiskStation supports multiple cameras, you can
purchase Synology Camera License Packs and then add the license key here to manage additional cameras.
View Logs
Go to System > Log under Management to view and manage log records of critical events such as camera
disconnection or changes on the camera settings.
Watch Live View
On the Live View page, you can watch live feeds up to 49 channels, take snapshot and adjust camera angle via
PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom), e-map, manual recording, video analytics, or analytics history. You can also customize your
own channel layout to fit your different surveillance scenarios and deployment.
Liveview Analytics lets you track targets during live viewing and recording. You can choose from several analytic
types for your IP cameras, and track suspicious events intelligently to trigger smart recording on-the-fly. Each
recorded session is archived in an organized fashion for analysis. A simulation mode ensures accurate tuning so
you can adjust sensitivity, detection zone, and object size to deliver the best result for individual cameras.
For more detailed instructions, please see DSM Help.
Configure Layout
DSM users belonging to the administrators group and users with the manager privilege can configure layout
setting. To customize the layout of camera live views and apply an e-map to a specific layout, click the Configure
button.
Use PTZ Control
If your camera has PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) support, you can select a camera and use the Controller panel to adjust
the camera's direction. Clicking on the home button will restore the camera back to its original position. If you
have selected a camera with partial PTZ support, the unsupported functions on the Controller panel will be
grayed out.
