Synology Inc. CC400W network camera

Compact AI Wi-Fi camera

The Synology CC400W is a 4MP network camera that connects over dual-band Wi-Fi and adds on-board AI detection for people and vehicles. It targets homeowners and small-business operators who want flexible indoor or outdoor monitoring without running Ethernet cables. Power comes from a supplied 5V DC adapter drawing 3.3 watts. The white cylindrical body weighs 200 g and measures Ø54 x 110 mm.

Build integration and mounting

The camera mounts with the included screw pack and operates from -20°C to 40°C, so it suits eaves, walls or ceilings exposed to weather. IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets, while the 125° horizontal field of view covers wide areas with a single unit. Built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way audio through the Synology Surveillance Station app. Bluetooth assists initial Wi-Fi provisioning on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz networks using WPA3 encryption.

Upgrade path and fit

The fixed 2.12 mm lens delivers 2560x1440 resolution at 30 FPS with night vision, replacing basic 1080p cameras that lack AI analytics. DORI ratings show detection at 45 m, observation at 18 m, recognition at 9 m and identification at 4.5 m. Buyers needing optical zoom, multi-sensor panoramic views or PoE-powered installations should consider other form factors. The jump is worthwhile when on-device people and vehicle detection reduces false alerts and manual review time.
