NAS major Synology showcased its latest consumer NAS, personal cloud, and surveillance solutions at the 2024 International CES. Starting things off are the company's latest TC500 and BC500 high-resolution wired cameras; and the CC400W wireless cameras, enhanced with AI. This may sound nebulous, but upon detecting movement, the cameras automatically move to zoom in on faces or vehicle license plates, and automatically dial up video resolution and probably bitrate (image quality). The wired cameras come with 5 MP sensors, while the wireless ones have 4 MP (capable of 1440p @ 30 FPS). Each of these comes with a dark light that can illuminate up to 30 m. They also come with microSD slots, to in the event of network failures, recording continues onto a memory card. You don't need a Synology Surveillance Station device license to use these.

Moving on to the stuff Synology is best known for, NAS, and we have the upgraded DiskStation DS1823xs+, an 8-bay business grade NAS with a combined RW throughput of 3100 MB/s reads, with 2600 MB/s writes; over 173,000 IOPS random reads, and over 80,800 IOPS random writes. The main networking interface is a 10 GbE, but with an additional PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot to drop in more NICs. The NAS can pair with DX517 expansion units over USB 3.1 to scale up to 18 drives. The DS423+ is a compact 4-bay NAS powered by a Celeron J4125 quad-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and room for two M.2-2280 NVMe SSDs besides the four 3.5-inch HDDs. The maximum rated throughput is still around 226 MB/s, but the main networking interfaces are two 10 GbE. The DS224+ is nearly the same device, but with just two 3.5-inch bays, and two 2.5 GbE interfaces.



Lastly there's the BeeStation "personal cloud" device. This is a NAS that you can get all your devices (smartphones, tablets, PCs) to connect over the Internet from anywhere in the world, and use like a personal cloud service, similar to Google Drive, Sharepoint, or iCloud. The web-based service that connects your devices to the BeeStation is completely free (no subscription fees). The device supports up to 4 TB of pre-installed local storage, and comes with a 10 GbE wired interface.

This is actually good news, it means I won't feel the need to upgrade to a new one :D

None of these products are newly announced. The DS1823xs+ and DS423+ launched way back in March 2023, while the DS224+ hit in August. The wired cameras announced in June. The closest thing here to a new product is the CC400W wireless camera from November.

And this isn't the usual regurgitation of PR by TechPowerup; this actually has a byline and is supposedly written by staff who should have been able to google this stuff.

Something's wrong here, the article says the DS423+ has two 10GBs NICs and the DS224+ has 2.5GBe NICs, but the product pages on Synolgy's site say both models are still limping along on 1Gbs NICs.
