If you're looking for a reliable and advanced security camera system for your home or business, then you might want to consider the Synology 16 Channel NVR Deep Learning Video Analytics DVA1622 with HDMI Video Output. It's a powerful and feature-rich network video recorder that can support up to 16 channels with 8 default licenses and up to 2 deep learning analytics tasks. With 8300+ camera support and ONVIF profile S, T, G compatibility, this NVR can seamlessly work with versatile cameras for utmost reliability.

Design and Features:

The Synology DVA1622 is a sleek and modern-looking black box that measures 166mm x 343mm x 243mm and weighs about 3.3 kg. It houses a powerful quad-core 2.0GHz processor, 4 GB DDR4 memory, and 2 bays for SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. The front of the device has several LEDs indicating power, LAN, status, and drive status.

This NVR supports H.264/H.265 video codecs, 4K resolution, and provides up to 64 IP cameras that can be managed altogether with your Surveillance Station Centralized Management System. The NVR also features deep learning video analytics, which includes facial recognition, people and vehicle detection, license plate recognition, people counting, and intrusion detection, making it suitable not just for basic surveillance, but also for advanced security and detection. Additionally, with two deep learning analytics tasks offered, this device offers practical solutions with better precision like never before.

View your security camera system both locally and remotely, connect monitors or HD TVs for local views, and use the DS cam App on your mobile devices, computers or web browsers to keep an eye on your premises wherever you are. You can also receive instant alerts and notifications when there are motion events, offering a safer solution for your home or business.

Performance:

The Synology DVA1622 performed very well during our testing, with excellent video quality and fast response times across all connected cameras. We were particularly impressed with its deep learning features, which allowed us to easily and quickly identify and track individuals, vehicles, and license plates. Also, the Synology Deep Learning NVR and NAS devices work seamlessly with the Surveillance Station Centralized Management System (CMS) of Synology, making it easier to manage, operate, update, and protect.

However, it's essential to note that the learning curve can be a little steep, particularly for those new to network video recorders, and sophistication may impact those who do not have typical expectations from a security camera system, and hence, the overall response time should be improved.

Another caveat is the price, as the Synology NVR Deep Learning Video Analytics DVA1622 is not the cheapest solution, rendering it for more corporate clients, while a good consideration for high-end residential properties.
