Case Study: Lyceum of the Philippines University achieves reliable, scalable H.265 surveillance with Synology Inc.'s NAS & Surveillance Station

Lyceum of the Philippines University - Customer Case Study

Lyceum of the Philippines University needed a reliable, cost‑effective CCTV solution for multiple campuses and its Bayleaf hotel properties after their previous NVRs suffered repeated crashes and a unit failure. With a limited budget and a desire to use H.265 to cut storage by about 50%, LPU — a long-time user of Synology Enterprise NAS — sought a surveillance platform that offered H.265 support, ease of management, and stable storage; they turned to Synology Inc.’s Surveillance Station and Centralized Management System (CMS).

Synology Inc. helped by repurposing existing Synology NAS units as NVRs, adding camera license packs and using ONVIF support to run non‑listed cameras through Surveillance Station and CMS. The deployment delivered the expected ~50% storage savings from H.265, eliminated the instability seen with the previous NVRs, enabled centralized multi‑site management and license mobility for redundancy, and prompted wider adoption across LPU (including RS3617xs+ and other recommended models) backed by Synology’s 5‑year warranty.
