G+_Jason Perry Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 So the more I play with my Synology NAS the more functions I am finding. At the same time the more I am finding I don't know, for instance, application portals, or why the general user permissions don't work for surveillance station! Does anyone have any good resources that take you through the features of DSM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I wondered that about Surveillance Station too. Seems like a real nice add-on, but feels very much like a completely separate application that just happens to be running on the same server.

G+_Jason Perry Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 It along with other programs also have their own application portal separate from the main DSM web portal. No idea how to effectively take advantage of this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 To beat everyone to it Synology's YouTube page is not the reference I am looking for. All the tutorials I have found are high level overviews that only give introductory knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Alex Martinez Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I just bought a ds1515+ couple days ago and been looking for the same thing as you. to learn more about the the features in more detail. Havent really found anything yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Golden Retriever Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 synology.com - DSM Live Demo - DSM 6.1 Beta | Synology Inc. Have you ran the demo? It seems DSM is ran in virtualize sessions so that each user has control fully independent of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tod Sage??, that was one of the things that encouraged me to get one. Believe me, it's better when it's not a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Golden Retriever Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There have been a lot of problems with security appliances both in corporate and consumer level units, many devices report back to China IP addresses, perhaps the surveillance portion is intentionally excluded from global permissions.

G+_Bob Carpenter Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've had a DS1511+ for about 5 years now. I am constantly surprised at things this will do. I was initially excited about Plex support but soon moved that off to an external device to do the work instead and turned my NAS back into a NAS. Then I saw it now has Docker Support, and much much more. The community support page is definitely worth adding. I was going to install Domotz network monitoring but found that the NAS doesn't have all of the VLAN support I wanted to do. If I had a flat network, I would definitely install it Their support is excellent. I had the power supply die last week and was easily able to buy a replacement part for a not obscene price. The power supply failure caused some damage to the array, I filed a ticket, Synology responded about 3 days later and remotely fixed the array. Thorougly impressed, I'm a lifetime customer now.

G+_Jason Perry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Tip of the Day This has caused me a lot of grief. Settings an application to deny in a group overrides setting the permission to allow for an individual user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Lon.tv is apparently doing a series on Synology Surveillance Station. I haven't watched it yet, but I've watched several of his other videos and they're usually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
