# Minimum configuration.yaml entry

  - platform: synology
    url: FULL_URL_OF_SYNOLOGY_NAS
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

A name for this Synology camera.

url string Required

The URL to your Synology, including port.

username string Required

The username for accessing Surveillance Station.

password string Required

The password for accessing Surveillance Station.

Full example

A full sample configuration for the synology camera platform is shown below:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
  - platform: synology
    url: https://192.168.1.120:5001
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD
    timeout: 15
    verify_ssl: false

Most users will need to set verify_ssl to false unless they have installed a valid SSL/TLS certificate in place of the built in self-signed certificate.
