TC500 camera

AI camera for integrated intelligent surveillance

Synology cameras are designed to integrate with Surveillance Station1, providing exceptional ease of use with quick and simple setup, bulk configuration, and hassle-free firmware updates. They feature camera-based AI technology that streamlines Surveillance Station deployment with intelligent features.

The TC500 is a versatile, IP67-rated, 5MP wide-angle camera powered by artificial intelligence for indoor and outdoor use. With a high resolution of 2880x1620 at 30 fps (FPS), a wide viewing angle of 110° horizontally and the ability to record images at night, the TC500 model will capture all the details you need.

Clear image, day and night

5 MP matrix with a wide-angle lens, recording at 30 fps (FPS) and a high-power infrared LED that provides the ability to record images at night with a range of 30 meters.

Edge detection and search based on artificial intelligence

The artificial intelligence technology in the camera allows you to detect people and vehicles, detect intrusions and use the Instant Search function.

No device license required

The camera does not require a Surveillance Station license or activation.

Emergency recording directly in the camera

Supports emergency recording to microSD card in case of network failure.

Security and compliance

Suitable for sensitive applications thanks to HTTPS/SRTP support and compliance with the US NDAA/TAA standard.

Capture quality

A detailed, wide-angle field of view provides protection for large areas, day and night.

• High resolution 5 MP (2880×1620) with 16:9 aspect ratio ensures clear and detailed videos
• A wide 110° horizontal viewing angle allows for comprehensive coverage of large areas and reduces the need for multiple cameras
• Large F1.8 aperture and multi-exposure HDR mode ensure good low-light performance without overexposing brighter areas
• A high-power infrared LED ensures clear images at night with a range of up to 30 meters

Smart video features

Camera-based AI features enable monitoring with intelligent analysis.

• People and vehicle detection distinguishes people and vehicles from other moving objects with high accuracy
• Intrusion detection identifies people and vehicles and sends alerts when a virtual boundary is crossed in a designated direction
• Instant Search allows you to quickly search for people, vehicles and past traffic in a given area
• Pair with Synology DVA models for more intelligent analysis such as facial recognition, license plate recognition and people counting

Streamlining and integration

Integration with Surveillance Station streamlines deployment and maintenance1.

• The quick and simple process of installing one or multiple cameras using Surveillance Station or DS cam speeds up deployment
• No purchase or activation of a surveillance device license is required
• Camera customization and maintenance features are available directly in Surveillance Station or DS cam
• Continuous firmware updates provide new features and security improvements and can be deployed in bulk, with or without internet access
• Emergency storage in edge devices increases system reliability by automatically switching to microSD card recording in the event of a network failure

Security and privacy protection

Thanks to integrated security, you protect your material, from recording to archiving.

• Support for HTTPS and SRTP protocols enables encryption of network and video transfers, authentication and integrity protection
• Storing data on Synology devices gives users full ownership of their recordings
• Privacy masking can be irreversibly applied to footage or applied to live view to cover sensitive areas
• View a list of connected devices for individual cameras and stay safe by disconnecting or blocking unrecognized devices
• NDAA and TAA compliance meets U.S. government procurement regulations
• Synology's long-term firmware support includes security patches and updates
