It is important to know

When choosing the Synology BC500, it is important to consider whether the wired PoE connection and 2K resolution meet your expectations and installation options. It is important to evaluate how important connection stability and access to electrical wiring in the place where you want to monitor are to you before making a decision. The usability of this camera can be excellent if you properly adjust the layout to your home and security needs.

• The camera operates exclusively wired via PoE, which means it is suitable where access to a powered network cable is possible — this brings greater stability but less flexibility than wireless models.
• 2K (QHD) resolution allows for capturing detail, which is important if you are monitoring larger areas or need clearer identification of people.
• When planning the installation, pay attention to the availability of network infrastructure — if it is not available, additional cabling will be required.
• The camera is best suited for permanent and stable solutions, less so for temporary installations or frequent relocations.

In practice

🟢 Internal home control

The camera is well suited for spaces where a wired network connection is already provided, as it offers stability and high image quality.

🟢 External surveillance of the house surroundings

Due to the possibility of connecting via PoE and 2K resolution, the camera will be very effective in environments with established network and electrical infrastructure.

🟡 Remote location monitoring without WiFi

The camera is suitable provided that a wired network with power can be provided; where this is not possible, the choice is not the most practical.

🔴 Quick temporary protection or installation without cables

Since there is no battery or wireless mode, this camera is not suitable for situations where cabling is not possible or mobility is required.

🔴 Monitoring locations without electricity

The camera requires constant power via PoE; therefore, it is not recommended for locations without electrical wiring.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Does the camera support wireless connection?

No, the Synology BC500 operates exclusively via a wired connection with PoE power.

Is the camera suitable for larger areas such as yards?

Yes, 2K resolution allows for good control of larger areas and recognition of details.

What do I need for the camera to work properly?

A network cable with PoE power capability and connection to a router or outlet is required.

Can I easily move the camera between different rooms?

The camera is designed for permanent installation; moving it means re-routing the cables, so it's not the most practical for frequent movement.
