All users can use Surveillance Center from the comfort of a familiar operating system via Internet Explorer*, Microsoft Edge*, FireFox*, Chrome* or Safari. Surveillance Center not only provides real-time surveillance monitoring and playback of recordings for multiple camera channels, but also significantly decreases the resources needed to operate Surveillance Center providing you with an optimal and seamless experience.

Note: Only supported on Windows operating system

Safety Enhanced Connection

The secure transfer of surveillance feeds is seen as a critical digital asset. Using a secure connection can ensure the privacy and security of surveillance feeds transmissions. ASUSTOR NAS supports HTTPS connections allowing users to log into Surveillance Center and view surveillance feeds via encrypted connections no matter if they are using Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Chrome or FireFox.

*Windows only

Simple and intuitive on-screen controls

A variety of real-time on-screen controls and functions on the Surveillance Center interface allow you to control PTZ camera movement, configure camera settings, start recordings and take snapshots of camera feeds. In addition to providing a smooth and intuitive control experience, the efficiency of operation is also significantly increased.

Two-Way Communication

Built-in microphones and speakers allow cameras to provide two-way audio. In addition to monitoring the audio in a particular area, you can also make announcements and converse in real-time with people in the area surveilled by the camera.

Multi-Stream

You want high resolution recordings, but does choppy video from surveillance feeds annoy you? Surveillance Center now supports 3 independent video streaming modes*, allowing administrators to configure default resolutions for recordings and viewing feeds remotely. Users can select appropriate resolutions based on network bandwidth and the number of channels that they are viewing, optimizing video streaming under different network bandwidth limitations.

*Number may vary according to camera brand.

Camera patrolling

The patrol paths function allows you to quickly create up to 5 different camera patrol paths. In addition to allowing cameras to automatically move (PTZ) through the preset positions, you can also configure the time the camera will stop at each position.

Quickly grasp the situation in each and every corner

In large scale surveillance environments, electronic maps provide a visual method for administrators to get an overall view of all IP cameras in deployment, allowing them to quickly get a handle on the current situation. When an event occurs, it will instantly appear on the map interface, giving administrators the ability to see the location of the event and instantly view real-time video feeds from the location. Administrators can then decide on the type of action to take, effectively limiting the potential damage that could happen at home, in the workplace or to other assets.

• Interactive electronic maps: when an alarm event occurs, the associated IP camera or alarm input device will turn red on the electronic map, indicating the location of the event.
• Users can click on IP cameras on the map interface in order to view their live feeds.
• Users can upload maps and intuitively configure the positioning and angle of cameras using “drag and drop”.
• Electronic map link function: conveniently switch to related maps.

Increases Mac display performance by over 30%

Surveillance Center utilizes the newest display technology, significantly increasing display performance and lowering CPU usage rates. This allows Mac users to enjoy outstanding performance, high reliability and a smooth surveillance experience.

Note: Surveillance Center now supports Safari and FireFox for Mac.

360 Degree Fisheye Camera Image Restoration

Fisheye cameras have a wide angle view and can focus on areas such as offices, ATMs, retail stores, supermarkets, hotels, and factories, providing greater coverage than most common cameras. Surveillance Center’s image dewarping function allows users to restore a fisheye camera’s live video feed by selecting a specified area, 360 degree panoramic view, double 180 degree panoramic view or 360 degree panoramic view combined with 3 specified areas. This gives users the comprehensive surveillance without blind spots without having to use a multitude of cameras.

Comprehensively Supports ADM3.0 Internet Passthrough Connections

ADM 3.0 provides easy connections by supporting a new Internet Passthrough function that helps users to simplify previously complex router configurations. Even if users with mobile devices are under local network or multi-router environments, all they need to do is upgrade their apps to the latest version supporting ADM 3.0 and they will be able to easily connect to their NAS to access Surveillance Center from anywhere and at any time. For computer users, they only need to install the new ASUSTOR EasyConnect (AEC) utility to utilize the Internet Passthrough function and conveniently connect to their NAS at home.

Record only when you need to

Surveillance Center offers you a variety of recording options. No matter if you need scheduled continuous recording or recording only when certain events occur, Surveillance Center is sure to satisfy your needs. Surveillance Center's various recording modes are listed below: 

• Manual Recording: While viewing a live feed, you can click on the record button at any time to begin or stop recording. In the event that you do not stop your recording, Surveillance Center will record until your designated recording quota has been reached. 
• Continuous or Scheduled Recording: Whether you require 24/7 continuous recording or recording only during a specific time, Surveillance Center can get the job done ensuring that you never miss any critical moments. 
• Motion Trigger Recording: In the event that any motion is detected in the surveilled environment, Surveillance Center will immediately begin recording, allowing you to save significant space on your hard disks and ensuring that you never miss any critical moments. 
• Alarm Trigger Recording: Triggering recording via a camera's alarm mechanism allows you to precisely record all critical events. Not only does this save space on your hard disks but also lowers the amount of reading and writing on your hard disks, prolonging their life. 
• Motion Trigger and Alarm Trigger Recording: This mode combines motion trigger and alarm trigger recording. If either mode is triggered, recording will begin immediately. This is a comprehensive recording mode that ensures you will never miss any critical moments.
