Case Study: Barnwood Park School future-proofs surveillance with Synology Surveillance Station and cameras

Barnwood Park School future-proofs surveillance with Synology and 85 cameras across 45-day retention

Barnwood Park School, a secondary school in Gloucester, England, faced the challenge of managing an overly complex and unscalable surveillance system made up of disparate cameras and NVRs. This made it difficult for staff to quickly find footage and resolve incidents, prompting them to seek a streamlined and future-proof solution from Synology Inc.

Synology implemented its Surveillance Station VMS and a fleet of BC500 and TC500 cameras, centralizing management on SA3400 NAS units. The solution provided AI-powered detection for faster incident response, high-quality video with night vision, and simplified batch updates. This resulted in a reliable, single solution that saved staff time, improved security with 24/7 monitoring, and offered room for future expansion as the school grows.
