Compact Surveillance Display Station

The Synology VS960HD is a fan-less VisualStation that connects directly to Surveillance Station 8 or later, letting operators view and play back IP camera feeds without a PC. Its palm-sized chassis mounts via the included VESA kit and runs from a 36 W adapter across 100 V to 240 V AC or 7 V to 24 V DC input.

Sustained Multi-Channel Decoding

Under full load the unit draws 7.2 W while decoding 96 simultaneous 720p streams at 10 FPS using H.265, and idles at 4.9 W. The operating envelope spans -20 °C to 50 °C for the chassis and 0 °C to 40 °C for the adapter, with humidity tolerance from 5 % to 95 % RH, enabling continuous duty in harsh environments.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify the surveillance server runs Surveillance Station 8 or newer and that camera streams are encoded in H.265 at resolutions the station can decode. Confirm two HDMI displays are available for extended desktop mode and that a 1 GbE network drop exists for the single RJ-45 port.

Questions about this item

How much power does the VS960HD draw when running 96 channels all day?

At full 96-channel load the unit consumes 7.2 W, dropping to 4.9 W when idle.

What cabling and display gear must I already have to start using the VisualStation?

You need an Ethernet cable for the RJ-45 1 GbE port and one or two HDMI monitors; the box includes a LAN cable and a 36 W power adapter.

Will the VS960HD work with the older IP cameras I already run on Surveillance Station?

Yes — it decodes H.265 streams and supports 96-channel live view at 720p/10 FPS through Surveillance Station 8 and onward.
