Synology Enhances API and Webhook Functions for Advanced Surveillance Integration
Building on the recent launch of
Surveillance Station 9.1.2, Synology is introducing a number of advanced
integration features for third-party applications. Coupled with refined
developer tools, this update promises streamlined integration of external
systems with Surveillance Station.
"We are committed to building a powerful video surveillance
solution that works together with our customer's existing systems," said
Josh Lin, Head of Surveillance Group at Synology. "With the capability to
function as both an API client and server, Surveillance Station offers a
versatile platform for integration. Whether it's embedding video streams into
other platforms or overlaying external data onto recorded video, our solution
is primed for swift integration with access controls, AI subsystems, and a
myriad of interconnected systems."
FETC International (FETCi), a prominent provider of license plate
recognition and RFID-based tolling solutions, has successfully integrated
Synology's Surveillance Station and its updated API. This collaboration with
Synology's development team has led to significant improvements in the
operational efficiency of FETCi's tolling solutions.
New APIs and Webhook
Functionality
Synology's reimagined Surveillance Station Web API is engineered for
broader feature support and easier integration. To aid developers, an
interactive API documentation site has been launched. Additionally, the introduction
of the ChatGPT plugin empowers developers to swiftly generate code for API
requests in languages such as Python and Golang through intuitive natural
language commands.
The webhook functionality has also seen significant upgrades, now
capable of transmitting details and snapshots from DVA video analytics results
to external platforms. Furthermore, Surveillance Station can ingest data from
third-party systems. Together, this enables users to create a truly unified
security platform encompassing multiple systems, sensors, and alarms, all under
one interface.
Common Use Cases
· Embed Surveillance Station video
streams directly into web pages.
· Utilize license plate recognition
results to automate access control functions.
· Integrate face recognition with
attendance systems for efficient personnel management.
· Display AI analytic results from
third-party systems directly on live feeds within Surveillance Station.
Availability
Surveillance Station 9.1.2, with its enhanced features, is now available
globally. Developers can submit applications for access to Surveillance Station
APIs and documentation.
