Congratulations on your purchase of Synology VS80. It is designed to expand the
exibility of your Surveillance Station.

DiskStation, or play the recordings stored on it, all without a PC. If they have
multiple cameras, VS80 even provides live-view of multiple cameras as a video
wall system.
This user’s guide will assist you through the installation and usage of your VS80.
Before going further, please conrm that you have at least one IP camera
managed by your Synology DiskStation. For information on how to set up an
