Synology presents the new BC800Z, a 4K varifocal bullet camera that features advanced AI-powered analytics and robust construction. Optimized for demanding security environments, the camera combines crisp image quality with flexible coverage and intelligent monitoring. This provides users with a reliable solution that delivers clear images even in poor lighting conditions and enables fast and precise event detection thanks to local AI analysis.
- 4K resolution (8 MP) at 30 FPS with varifocal zoom lens (4.38-9.33 mm).
- Advanced AI analytics directly on the camera, e.g. license plate recognition, smoke detection and people/vehicle counting.
- Robust aluminum housing with IP66, IP67 and IK10 certifications.
- Data protection and security through end-to-end encryption and network failure backup (microSD failover).
Precise imaging and flexible monitoring
The BC800Z is characterized by a high-resolution 8 megapixel camera that delivers 3840×2160 pixels at 30 frames per second. With the adjustable 4.38-9.33 mm zoom lens, the horizontal viewing angle can be flexibly adjusted between 112.1° and 47.5°, allowing precise adaptation to different surveillance areas. An innovative 1/1.8″ starlight sensor together with hybrid white and IR illumination guarantees clear and detailed images even in poor lighting conditions.
The housing is made entirely of aluminum and meets high protection standards (IP66, IP67, IK10), making it ideal for use in demanding environments and adverse weather conditions. This ensures permanent and reliable monitoring.
Intelligent AI analysis for faster reactions
The special feature of the BC800Z is its onboard AI-supported video analysis, which takes place directly on the camera (Edge). This significantly reduces latency and allows more efficient, intelligent monitoring functions to be implemented. The camera supports functions such as
- License plate recognition
- Smoke detection
- People and vehicle counting
- Intrusion detection
- Instant search and auto tracking
These functions enable security officers to detect events more quickly and react in a more targeted manner.
Security and data protection at the highest level
For data protection and system integrity, Synology relies on modern encryption methods (HTTPS, SRTP) for the secure transmission and storage of monitoring data. Thanks to a microSD failover mechanism, data is recorded and backed up locally even in the event of network failures. The BC800Z also complies with NDAA/TAA guidelines, which makes it particularly suitable for use by public authorities and companies.
Flexible licensing and availability
Synology separates device and camera licenses in the BC800Z, which provides more flexibility and transparency in license procurement. Licenses already integrated into Synology NAS and DVA systems can be added. This new license structure is designed to enable more cost-efficient and on-demand deployment.
The BC800Z is available immediately through Synology’s partner network and authorized resellers.
Conclusion
Synology BC800Z is a state-of-the-art 4K bullet camera that delivers precise image quality, robust design, and intelligent AI analytics. It offers excellent value for money for organizations looking to equip their security infrastructure with reliable and efficient video surveillance. Flexible licensing and high security standards round off the overall package.
Pricing information is not currently published by Synology, but the camera is available immediately. The RRP of the BC800Z is EUR 399 excluding VAT.
