The synology camera platform allows you to watch the live streams of your Synology Surveillance Station based IP cameras in Home Assistant.

{% linkable_title 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 %}

{% linkable_title 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.
