Synology has announced the launch of its first AI-powered Wi-Fi camera, the CC400W. Positioned for small businesses, retailers, and home office setups, the CC400W blends wireless flexibility, smart surveillance tools, and crisp video quality in one compact unit.
Wireless Setup, Smart Surveillance
The CC400W ditches complicated wiring in favor of dual-band Wi-Fi and an IP65 weather-resistant design. Its mounting options—including wall, ceiling, and magnetic surface placement—give users flexibility for both indoor and outdoor installation. Two-way audio support enables users to communicate through the camera, whether they’re on-site or remote.
On the surveillance front, Synology packs the camera with on-device AI for real-time detection and alerts. Features include people and vehicle detection, intrusion alerts, and auto-tracking. Paired with Synology’s DVA systems, the CC400W can extend its capabilities to include face recognition, license plate reading, and people counting.
Sharp Video, Smarter Storage
Video capture clocks in at 2560×1440 resolution at 30 FPS with a 125° field of view and multi-exposure HDR. A high-power infrared LED provides up to 10 meters of night vision, keeping things clear after dark. For efficient storage and bandwidth use, the camera uses H.265 compression and Synology’s Smart Bitrate Control.
Edge storage is handled via a microSD card slot with failover support, ensuring recordings remain accessible even if network connectivity takes a hit.
Plug-and-Play with Synology Ecosystem
The CC400W integrates directly with Synology’s Surveillance Station and DS cam app, and can be added without consuming a Surveillance Station device license. That makes scaling up a camera network simpler and more cost-effective for businesses already invested in Synology infrastructure.
Privacy and Compliance Built In
The device supports HTTPS and SRTP encryption, is NDAA/TAA compliant, and receives regular firmware updates to address security concerns.
The CC400W is now available through Synology partners and resellers. More details can be found on the official product page.
