+The `synology` platform allows you to watch the live streams of your [Synology](https://www.synology.com/) Surveillance Station based IP cameras in Home Assistant.
+
+To enable your Surveillance Station cameras in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Minimum configuration.yaml entry
+camera:
+  - platform: synology
+    url: SYNOLOGY_URL
+    username: USERNAME
+    password: PASSWORD
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **url** (*Required*): The url to your synology, including port.
+- **username** (*Required*): The username for accessing surveillance station.
+- **password** (*Required*): The password for accessing surveillance station.
+- **whitelist** (*Optional*): A list of which cameras you want to add, the names must be the same as in Surveillance Station.  If omited all cameras are added.
+- **verify_ssl** (*Optional*): True to require a valid certificate, False to disable certificate checking.
+
+A full sample configuration for the `synology` platform is shown below:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+camera:
+  - platform: synology
+    url: https://192.168.1.120:5001
+    username: USERNAME
+    password: PASSWORD
+    verify_ssl: False
+```
+
+<p class='note'>
+Most users will need to set valid_ssl to false unless they have installed a valid SSL certificate in place of the built in self signed certificate.
