The synology camera platform allows you to watch the live streams of your Synology Surveillance Station based IP cameras in Home Assistant.
Synology has disabled the livestreaming API and the integration is currently broken if you are using Surveillance Station version 8.2.3-5828. There is an unsupported preview fix available. (8.2.3-5829) - Instructions can be found here for updating manually.
Configuration
To enable your Surveillance Station cameras in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Minimum configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: synology
url: IP_ADDRESS_OF_SYNOLOGY_NAS
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
{% configuration %} name: description: A name for this Synology camera. required: false type: string default: Synology Camera url: description: The URL to your Synology, including port. required: true type: string username: description: The username for accessing Surveillance Station. required: true type: string password: description: The password for accessing Surveillance Station. required: true type: string timeout: description: The timeout in seconds used when connecting to the Surveillance Station. required: false type: integer default: 5 whitelist: description: A list of which cameras you want to add, the names must be the same as in Surveillance Station. If omitted all cameras are added. required: false type: list verify_ssl: description: Verify SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS request. required: false type: boolean default: true {% endconfiguration %}
Full example
A full sample configuration for the synology camera platform is shown below:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: synology
url: https://192.168.1.120:5001
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
timeout: 15
verify_ssl: false
Most users will need to set verify_ssl to false unless they have installed a valid SSL/TLS certificate in place of the built in self-signed certificate.
