Synology has introduced the new BC510 and TC510 AI-powered surveillance cameras, bullet and turret models designed for flexible deployment across various security environments. The new devices combine advanced AI analytics, high video quality, and rugged outdoor durability while supporting integration with both the Synology ecosystem and third-party platforms.

According to the company, the cameras are part of Synology’s broader strategy to build a unified surveillance ecosystem that connects cameras, VMS, AI analytics, storage, and cloud services. The BC510 and TC510 support the ONVIF protocol, enabling interoperability with a wide range of existing NVR and VMS platforms, while future support is also planned for Synology’s upcoming VSaaS cloud platform.

The cameras feature IP66 and IP67-rated protection, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. They deliver a resolution of 2880 × 1620 at 30 FPS, with a 110-degree horizontal field of view and up to 30 meters of night vision coverage.

A key focus has been placed on edge AI capabilities, including people and vehicle counting, intrusion detection, and instant search functions processed directly on the camera. This approach reduces server workload while enabling faster real-time data processing and response.

The new BC510 and TC510 models are now available through Synology partners and resellers. More information is available at: BC510 and TC510

According to SecurityWeek, Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) warned in a recent report about a significant rise in cyberattacks targeting industrial control systems and OT infrastructure, particularly within the water supply sector during 2024 and 2025. The report states that water treatment facilities in several Polish municipalities, including Jabłonna Lacka, Szczytno, Małdyty, Tolkmicko, and Sierakowo, were compromised.

In several incidents, attackers reportedly gained access to industrial control systems and obtained the ability to alter operational equipment parameters, creating risks for operational continuity and public water supply safety. ABW identified weak password practices and internet-exposed systems without adequate protection as the main factors enabling the intrusions.

The report warns that cyberattacks are increasingly shifting from data theft toward attempts to physically disrupt critical infrastructure operations. In addition to water systems, authorities also documented attacks targeting wastewater treatment facilities and waste incineration plants.

ABW further noted that supply chain organizations were also targeted, with attackers seeking access to project documentation, contract data, and authentication credentials that could enable deeper access into infrastructure systems. Polish authorities primarily attribute the activity to hacktivist groups linked to foreign governments, specifically naming Russian groups APT28 and APT29, as well as the Belarus-linked UNC1151 actor.

Organizations of every size and type have already discovered the security and convenience benefits of a CLIQ digital key access management system. Now, new CLIQ Readers and Updaters for indoor and outdoor use make extending the scope and reach of a CLIQ solution even simpler, including to third-party digital access devices. It takes CLIQ to new openings more easily than ever before.

These new additions to the CLIQ family are compatible with fully electronic eCLIQ and electromechanical PROTEC² CLIQ solutions. They simplify both secure unlocking and the transfer of access updates to CLIQ keys. With new CLIQ Readers, all the keyholder needs to do is insert their key and wait for visual confirmation from its inbuilt LED – they do not even turn it, which minimizes key wear-and-tear. The Updater incorporates the same intuitive LEDs as CLIQ Wall Programming Devices (PDs) – informing the keyholder about update and key battery status.

“The new CLIQ Readers are the first readers which are fully integrated with the CLIQ system,” explains Ralf Stange, Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY. “Managing access is simple because the software treats a Reader just like a cylinder. The new Updater makes it easier and more cost-efficient to add secure credential updating protocols to outside spaces.”

A fast, reliable new Reader, inside or outdoors

The CLIQ Reader is compatible with everything an organization needs to manage access more flexibly: with CLIQ Web Manager and Local Manager; with the CLIQ Go mobile solution for small businesses; and with the full range of CLIQ programmable keys.

The Reader itself offers customized setup options to suit individual needs. Switch delay may be set between 1 and 10 seconds, with a choice of activation on key insertion or on removal. An optional remote relay unit can add an extra layer of security. Installing and connecting a Reader can put a CLIQ system in control of user access to doors with electric strikes or motorized locks, automatic revolving doors or sliding glass doors, lift priority and more.

In addition, the Outdoor Reader model packs all this convenient functionality into a durable stainless-steel housing designed for exterior use. With certified protection against water, dust (IP65), and vandalism (IK09), it extends CLIQ’s use-cases reliably to external barriers, gates, turnstiles and other entrances.

Secure outdoor credential management with a new Updater

Another new addition to the device range, the CLIQ Updater provides a secure way to add CLIQ key updates outside a building. Because connecting the Updater does not require a network cable, the device is fast and secure to install even on retrofit projects. The Updater is simply linked via RS485 cable to an existing CLIQ Wall PD (Gen 2), up to 200 metres away, with no need for network configuration. All security-related elements remain in the building interior. When connected to a Wall PD featuring a free output switch function (FO1), the Updater can activate third-party devices such as electric strikes.

For installation convenience, all CLIQ Readers and Updaters come in a choice of flush and surface-mounted configurations to suit the specific application. The Outdoor Reader and Updater are also available as e-modules for seamless, integration with steles, tableaus, and outdoor intercom systems, including ASSA ABLOY’s DoorBird solution.

“With these new additions to the CLIQ device range, facility managers can implement even more comprehensive and flexible access protocols,” adds Ralf Stange. “And like every CLIQ product, they are backed by decades of ASSA ABLOY investment and innovations in lock and key technologies to secure homes and businesses.”

The global video surveillance market could reach a value of USD 204.68 billion by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate of 11.7 percent, according to a new report by Grand View Research. Market growth is primarily driven by increasing security demands across business facilities, schools, public spaces, and residential environments, as well as the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies that are enhancing the capabilities of modern video surveillance systems.

According to the report, additional momentum is coming from government regulations worldwide, which are increasingly mandating the use of video surveillance in critical infrastructure and public areas. At the same time, lower equipment costs and more accessible solutions are enabling wider adoption among smaller businesses and organizations.

The report also highlights the growing integration of IoT technologies into surveillance systems. IoT-enabled cameras support remote monitoring and management, automatic alert notifications when suspicious events are detected, and advanced data analytics for identifying patterns and preventing incidents. These solutions also require less infrastructure compared to traditional systems, making them more cost-effective to deploy.

The hardware segment continues to hold the largest share of the market, accounting for more than 71 percent of total revenue in 2025, while IP video surveillance systems maintained a dominant position with a market share exceeding 55.7 percent. Significant growth is also expected in the hybrid surveillance systems segment in the coming years.

In terms of regional trends, Asia Pacific leads with a 36.2 percent share of the global market, driven by rapid urbanization, smart city development, and growing demand for cloud-based surveillance. China retained the leading position within the APAC market, while additional growth is expected in India.

Among the leading companies in the global video surveillance market are Hikvision, Dahua Technology, Bosch Building Technologies, Axis Communications, Motorola Solutions, Hanwha Vision, and Uniview.
