Synology Surveillance API-API for surveillance control

Example

Using the 'Camera_List' and 'Camera_Get' functions, a user can retrieve detailed information about all cameras connected to the Surveillance Station, such as their status, model, and current recording mode.

Scenario

A security administrator needs to regularly check the status of multiple cameras across different locations. By using these functions, they can quickly generate a report detailing the current operational status of all devices, ensuring that any malfunctioning cameras are promptly identified and serviced.

Example

The 'Recording_Download' and 'Event_List' functions allow users to download specific recordings and retrieve lists of triggered events such as motion detection, face recognition, or license plate recognition events.

Scenario

A retail manager might use these functions to review footage after an incident is reported in a store. By filtering events to only show those triggered by motion in a particular area, they can efficiently locate the relevant recording and download it for further review.

Example

Functions like 'Face Recognition_List' and 'People Counting_DownloadReport' provide access to advanced analytics features, such as listing registered faces or downloading reports on the number of people passing through a specific area.

Scenario

A large venue, such as a sports stadium, could use these analytics functions to monitor crowd movement during an event. The data could then be used to optimize security personnel deployment or manage crowd flow more effectively.
