DS cam makes it possible to monitor and receive alert notifications from all your surveillance cameras set up on a Synology DiskStation. Smart features such as PTZ, patrols or lens control allow for perfect control of your cameras in real-time, while advanced filters make it easy to pinpoint any specific event from large lists of recordings. You can even perform all essential management tasks, from disabling a camera to unlocking and deleting a snapshot.

Reliable, we have two servers. Lost ability to speak through microphones on cameras. Using openVPN takes away the ability to sign into dscam on that server using IP. Must us synology quickconnect which is not preferred. Unable to use MJEP to try fixing. Many drop cameras & must use auto reboot to recover so we don't manually power cycle cams. Left without the functionality. It's has really good capabilities & features. We are left with More to be desired as we lose functions.

Horribly unstable when used from outside my home network. Tried on two different devices via two different Internet connections. Web interface comes up fine, so does the Windows app. Whoever wrote this hot garbage needs to consider a career change. Already have a ticket open, but given recent responses I've gotten from their support, I expect some tier 1 canned garbage. Really need a way to contact tier 2 directly. Tier 1 is always a waste of time.

App works ok. Biggest gripe is no real call notification that you can answer showing up when someone rings the doorbell. There is one for the desktop when logged into dsm. But nothing for mobile that i have seen. Just a little small banner notification that someone rang the doorbell at some point that is easily missed if not paying attention. Also would be nice to be able to download clips of recordings from the mobile app without having to go to the desktop. Outside of these it works well.
