Synology Case Study on Camden Market

Synology Case Study on Camden Market

When we were looking to replace the various old CCTV systems which covered the Camden markets, I wanted something which was going to be flexible as things can change very quickly in Camden Market. After considering various options and looking at the (often very high) pricing, I decided on using Synology.
