I’ve had my Synology DS418j for maybe 2 years now. I asked for some surveillance cameras for around the house for Christmas and got them. I started using the surveillance station that comes with the DS418j. Loved every second of it. I got more cameras and am planning to get more. There are few companies that I would never go away from. Synology is one of them!!!

If you have a synology NAS, you may have discovered that you can use it to run IP cameras on your network. The only thing you need is your cameras, a PoE switch (or injectors), and the NAS. In my case, I use the NAS as a backup but I don’t even come close to fully utilizing it so it is doubling as a station for my cameras.Here’s the issue with Synology. The units work on a licensing system for cameras. Most come with 2. If you only have 2 cameras, no big deal. You have everything you need right out of the box. If you want more, however, you have to buy licenses. This practice is really annoying. I did it because it’s still cheaper than buying a dedicated unit (and adding NAS friendly hard drives, remember, they need to be surveillance or NAS rated, not standard hard drives and definitely not SSDs because of the constant read/write access).You get the code, you enter it, and a half a second later, you have the ability to add 4 new cameras. Purchasing your license in bulk saves you a little money over buying them individually. It doesn’t save a lot however, so if you only need 3 licenses it’s still cheaper to buy those individually. Realistically, I labelled this 5 stars because it is exactly what it is supposed to be. I just have a problem with Synology’s practice of charging so much per camera.

I was so hesitant to pay for camera licensing but Surveillance Station with the DS cam app is awesome. Rock solid software with continuous improvements. Absolutely no regrets. Yes you have to wait for this to mail in. No big deal.

It was easy to install. No glitches. Easy to add cameras afterwards. Not cheap but the instructions are in English not Chinglish.

I bought a Synology DS218J to act as a surveillance server. It wasn’t until I got the NAS and read the instructions that I learned that it only allows you to install two surveillance cameras in their Surveillance Station software for free and then you have to purchase a One, Four, or Eight pack of camera licenses to add more cameras. These licenses are not cheap. They cost about $57 each or less in the multi-packs. I had to add a four pack to my NAS to be able to get decent coverage on my business with a total of six cameras. I will say this though, they are worth it. The DS218J performs flawlessly while recording 6 cameras at a time despite the server having only a Celeron CPU.

A great product. Probably the best license pack I’ve ever used. Exquisitely packaged and shipped very fast. I loved it so much I mounted the card it came with on my wall. Full matted and everything. The works. My surveillance is now top notch and my wife thinks I’m a genius. Thanks synology!

Purchased the four pack License. Extremely easy to add the Licenses to my Synology DS718 NAS (just as easy with other Synology NAS models). If you have more than 2 camera’s you will need to purchase additional licenses from Synology to use with your Synology NAS.

A bit overpriced it seems. You get a card in the mail, that has a code on it. This code is your lic#..You enter this into your DSM.If you lose the card and forget the # you are out luck..Apparently there is no way to recover..It worked immediately after entering code. Mine was connected to internet. I am not sure if DSM must be available to internet?Love Synology

Exactly what you want. You want to upgrade your stock Synology from 2 cameras to 6, then you should purchase this license Key.

Yeah, synology charges you a bunch of money. But it works. 5/5
