Once you have set up a CMS host, you can go to the Server page to add recording servers and manage them
with the CMS service.
Add and Edit Cameras
Go to IP Camera > List under Management to add and edit cameras, set up recording schedule and advanced
settings.
Create Camera Groups
To organize multiple cameras into camera groups for easier deployment, go to IP Camera > Group.
Migrate Cameras
Once you have set up a central management system, you can go to IP Camera > Migration to initiate a
migration procedure which relocates cameras from different servers to one particular server.
Note: If you are not a user belonging to the administrators group, you may have limited access due to the privilege
settings. To learn more about this, go to “Assign Privileges to Users” or contact your administrator.
Play and Manage Recordings
Go to Recording > List under Management to browse all recordings, play them with the Recording Player, and
delete, lock, filter, or download the video files.
Note: Your IP camera must support alarm recording to be able to use Alarm Recording. Alarm recording often
relates to the IP camera’s digital input and output pin, or DIDO. Refer to its datasheet for pin configuration detail.
Alarm recording will begin when the IP camera detects an input pin is triggered.
Export Recordings
Go to Recording > Export under Management to export the recordings to any shared folder or to an external
storage device via USB or eSATA interface.
Mount Recordings
Go to Recording > Mount under Management to mount exported recordings. You can mount exported archives
onto Surveillance Station. The recordings in mounted archives can be played on the Recording and Timeline
pages.
Use E-Map
E-map is a way of creating a map showing the location of cameras. You can add, edit, and delete e-maps by
going to E-Map under Management. After the e-map is created, you can go to Live View and click Configure to
assign the e-map to a live view layout.
Manage Notification Settings
Go to the Notification page under Management to have Surveillance Station send you notification messages via
email, SMS, mobile devices or instant messaging programs whenever important events occur. You can decide
which types of events to be notified at the Settings tab and configure notification service settings at Service.
Pair VisualStation with Synology NAS
VisualStation is a Synology product that can be paired with your Synology NAS to provide a live view and
playback solution. You can access Surveillance Station on a paired Synology NAS with the displays connected to
VisualStation, without the need to constantly keep a computer running. Go to the VisualStation page to pair
VisualStations with your Synology NAS.
