This upcoming release showcases Livecam, a brand new security camera app that instantly turns a spare phone into an IP camera. The revamp of DS cam offers higher performance and greater compatibility, along with the addition of IP speakers to the hardware support list. Complementing the array of refreshing functionality, the next generation of Application Center offers greater flexibility for application management. Once the beta phase is concluded, valuable feedback and suggestions will be taken into consideration to polish the official release of Surveillance Station 8.2.

"The latest update of Surveillance Station explores the potential of mobile surveillance at home and in a corporate environment with the introduction of Livecam, with a streamlined interface, and with more robust application management" said Ivan Chang, Product Manager at Synology Inc., "Once the phone is transformed into a security camera through Livecam, it is well-incorporated into the Surveillance Station network with its video recordings readily accessible by DS cam. With the application available in Application Center, users can elevate their surveillance capability with the use of various applications that best suit their needs. The impact of surveillance deployment is further amplified with the support of IP speakers, enabling users to broadcast as well as monitor the surrounding areas of these audio devices via paired IP cameras."
