Synology Camera
The synology camera platform allows you to watch the live streams of your Synology Surveillance Station based IP cameras in Home Assistant.
Synology has disabled the livestreaming API and the integration is currently broken if you are using Surveillance Station version 8.2.3-5828. There is an unsupported preview fix available. (8.2.3-5829) - Instructions can be found here for updating manually.
