I just came across a WEB API for the Synology NAS Surveillance Station app that allows you to control almost all features of the NVR. You can get all your cam info, control recording, view schedules, retrieve stored files, etc.

Here's a little of the info you can pull off it with some of the available queries, it also shows the string to start recording camera 1. This should help anyone that might want to use one of these figure out how to go about doing this.

    Hi Vining,

    I'm curious about Synology Surveillance Station myself... Do you have the IP cameras on a VLAN so that they don't clog up everything else? It seems to me that the perfect situation would be to put a Synology on a dedicated network switch with all IP cameras, and then send the video stream to the AMX panels from the Synology - is that how it's done? Or, do you have to stream the video from the cameras to both the Synology and the AMX panels at the same time on the same network? I'm a little concerned about network bandwidth...
