Synology Unveils the DVA7400: The AI Surveillance Revolution
On July 30, 2026, in a striking announcement from Tokyo, Japan, Synology introduced its flagship deep learning analytics appliance, the DVA7400. The DVA7400 is a robust solution tailored for enterprise-scale surveillance, ensuring completely on-premises operations while enabling the management of multiple camera feeds across various locations. With advanced AI video analytics, it guarantees complete ownership of sensitive data, elevating security measures to a new level.
Josh Lin, Director of the Synology Surveillance Group, emphasized the significance of the DVA7400, stating, "This appliance is the culmination of nearly 20 years of expertise in physical security by Synology. By combining centralized management of distributed camera networks with fully local AI analysis, organizations can expand their surveillance infrastructures without compromising data privacy.”
A Comprehensive On-Premise Surveillance Solution
The DVA7400 features a 2U, 12-bay rackmount chassis, optimized for performance. It processes up to 100 high-definition camera feeds simultaneously while executing 40 deep learning analysis tasks in real time. All recordings and AI metadata are preserved within the appliance, ensuring that data resides within the organization's infrastructure, supporting regulatory compliance.
Functioning as a central management server, the DVA7400 integrates multiple camera networks and servers through the centralized management system (CMS) of Synology's Surveillance Station. This centralized system allows for seamless integration and management of surveillance operations across different sites, offering a high degree of control and oversight.
AI-Powered Video Analytics for Enhanced Investigations
One of the groundbreaking features of the DVA7400 is its semantic video search capability. This innovative function allows operators to use natural language to search through all 100 camera feeds, drastically reducing the time required for footage review from hours to mere seconds. With a dedicated hardware accelerator handling these searches on isolated resources, the DVA7400 ensures that all 40 real-time deep learning analysis tasks continue to perform at full capacity.
For complex investigations, the DVA7400 offers advanced features such as "attribute search,” which narrows down persons of interest based on visual identifiers like clothing color or vehicle type. Additional functionalities include license plate recognition for access control and detection of recurring objects, enabling the reconstruction of an individual's movement across multiple locations. These features supplement real-time analyses like face recognition, crowd detection, intrusion detection, and measuring human and vehicle counts.
Enhancing Existing Camera Systems with AI
With server-side analysis and extensive ONVIF profile support, the DVA7400 brings AI functionalities to organizations' existing camera setups. This means enterprises can upgrade their complete surveillance environment without the need for replacing a single camera, making it an ideal solution for institutions looking to enhance their security measures without incurring excessive costs.
The DVA7400 is currently available through Synology's authorized partners and system integrators. For detailed technical specifications and further information on enterprise deployment, interested parties are encouraged to visit
