Review: Awesome new camera from Synology - I have been using 4 of these on a building for a few months now in the Phoenix area and they have so far survived the very hot summer and occasional monsoon storms with no problem. My setup experience with them was very quick and entirely plug and play. Synology's Camera Station (CS) is able to detect the cameras on the network and offers to set them up. Firmware updates are automatic if desired or can be set for manual mode. While the cameras are able to be accessed directly via their own internal webpages, which is handy for quick image checks and a few basic settings, most things are fully configurable within CS itself. One feature between the cameras and CS is the automatic seamless uploading and integration of any recorded footage into the timeline while CS might be offline for software updates or is otherwise unavailable. This requires an optional MicroSD card to be installed in the camera before mounting it, which I highly recommend. I agree fully with Jose's excellent review and won't rehash everything he said with regard to the AI features but will add one big thing: When used with Camera Station, this camera DOES NOT REQUIRE A LICENSE. This saves $60 or is included in the price of the camera, depending on how you look at it. To comment on the $40 camera comment... you get what you pay for! Synology is a well known brand with quality products. While I cannot comment on using this camera with other systems, I chose it for use with CS, for which it was designed. I highly recommend it! Review: Very good camera but night vision needs a major improvement - Good security camera. If you are running a Synology NAS and you are familiar with Synology products then you know you do not have to use nor buy a camera license. Good focus, but it says something like 100 feet but it is more like 75 feet. I record on my NAS. If the power goes out, I have UPS's on my router and switches and this camera so it keeps recording for a couple of hours on an SD card that when the network and power are back, the recordings go to the NAS. This is unobtrusive in its size. What I definitely do not like is poor night vision IF you live in the country and there is no ambient lighting. If you live in a city, you have plenty of ambient light. If you live in suburbia, maybe there is enough ambient light. i had to add two IF illuminators (lights that shine in the infrared zone so invisible to mammals but night vision is enhanced because everything is lit up black and white. The lights have photo cells so these are on only during the night and are not visible so it all seems dark out). If you are looking to snag a license plate on the recording, maybe. It depends on mounting height and so on.You have to experiment. Video is sharp, but night vision is almost non-existent. I needed my areas illuminated so extra lights worked. I think this is a superior product but for the night vision. I have friends who live in cities. Their cameras pick up night recordings fine. This needs improvement. ## Features - 5 MP sensor with wide-angle lens, recording at 30 FPS, and high-power IR LED for 30 meters of night vision - On-camera AI powers people and vehicle detection, intrusion detection, and Instant Search - Supports failover recording onto microSD, in case of network failure - No Device License Required - NDAA/TAA compliance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BY7J67PZ | | Alert Type | Motion Only | | Antenna Location | Indoor Security, Outdoor Security | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #481 in Bullet Surveillance Cameras | | Brand | Synology | | Built-In Media | BC500 camera x 1, Installation guide X 1, RJ45 cap cover X 1, Screw pack X 1 | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Synology device | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, Wired | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Iris | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (31) | | Effective Still Resolution | 5 MP | | Form Factor | Bullet | | Frame Rate | 30 fps | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00846504005093 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Dimensions | 8.86 x 5.63 x 4.72 inches | | Item Type Name | Bullet Camera | | Light Source | LED | | Manufacturer | Synology | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year | | Model Name | BC500 | | Model Number | BC500 | | Mount Type | Ceiling Mount | | Night Vision | Yes | | Night Vision Range | 30 Meters | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Night Vision, Weather Proof | | Photo Sensor Technology | CMOS | | Power Source | PoE | | Room Type | Classroom, Kitchen, Living Room, Office | | UPC | 846504005093 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Video Capture Format | MPEG-4 | | Video Capture Resolution | 1920p | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Waterproof Rating | IP67 | | Wattage | 10 watts | | Wireless Technology | Wi-Fi | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synology - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet, Wired - **Model Name:** BC500 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Indoor Security, Outdoor Security - **Special Feature:** Night Vision, Weather Proof ## Images ![BC500-5MP AI Bullet IP Camera, Night Vision, IP67 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NXUyGzVcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Awesome new camera from Synology *by A***R on August 23, 2023* I have been using 4 of these on a building for a few months now in the Phoenix area and they have so far survived the very hot summer and occasional monsoon storms with no problem.

This needs improvement. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Plug & Play *by J***O on July 10, 2023* Synology got it right! This camera is a breeze to install and configure. Running at 2880x1620 30FPS resolution with HDR enabled and the picture looks great both day & night. Good color balance. - High Quality picture both day & night - I'm running full resolution and color at night with ambient light. - Configuration is a breeze - true plug & play for dummies or configure to your liking. Best of both worlds. - Nice AI features built into camera - very accurate vehicle & people detection & tracking. - Camera apps well designed to search and find people or vehicles in m ay continues recording DB. Pick a spot in the camera view and you can watch cars or people that intersect that point. Very nice and powerful search feature. - I believe this camera is well priced for the AI features & ease of installation First, I want to say I have only been running this camera for a little over a week. So, I can't comment on the longevity of the camera. But I can tell you that installing and setting up 3rd party cameras on Synology SS can be very time consuming and tedious to get camera features configured for over 800+ different kinds of cameras that SS does support. With that being said, installing this camera and enabling all of the features it has took me less than 30 minutes. That is after reading all the product documentation on the BC500 camera that I could find using Synology knowledge base search. I've been using Synology SS application for years on different Synology platforms. The BC500 camera I purchased at Amazon was installed in addition to 10 existing high-resolution cameras connected and viewed on SS v9.1.1 running on DSM 7.2 Hardware platform consist of: DS1621+ & DX517 chassis. I am a security buff and I like to know what is always going on both outside and inside my home (when Iā€™m not home). Using the search Vehicle and People detection feature of the BC500 are working as described and I couldn't be happier. I use the BC500 search features to find an event for Vehicles or People on any point of the video feed view and I can synchronize that event across all my cameras and watch a cohesive view of any event of my liking. Why, because I installed the BC500 at a strategic point that allows me to get full use of the AI features of the camera. This allows me to search and sniff through security video quickly and efficiently. It's definitely less time consuming as the People and Vehicle events are captured and indexed by SS and very accurate at that! Way to go Synology! you got this one right! ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology BC500-5MP AI Bullet IP Camera, Night Vision, IP67 - TP-Link TL-SG1005P, 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 4 PoE+ Ports @65W, Desktop, Plug & Play, Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports, Fanless, QoS & IGMP Snooping,black - Synology 16 Channel NVR Deep Learning Video Analytics DVA1622 with HDMI Video Output --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/530723836-bc500-5mp-ai-bullet-ip-camera-night-vision-ip67](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/530723836-bc500-5mp-ai-bullet-ip-camera-night-vision-ip67) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
