Synology BC500 5MP Outdoor Network Bullet Camera with Night Vision

The Synology BC500 is an outdoor network bullet camera that records 5 megapixel video at 2880 × 1620 resolution and 30 frames per second, so faces, license plates, and other critical details remain clear in every frame. An infrared array reaches up to 98 feet, allowing the camera to keep the same level of detail after dark, while a 110-degree horizontal field of view covers wide driveways, storefronts, and parking areas with a single device.

Installation stays simple because the camera uses Power over Ethernet, sending power and data through one cable. The enclosure carries an IP67 rating, which means it keeps working through rain, dust, and temperature swings that are common in outdoor locations. A built-in microphone provides one-way audio to capture voice or ambient sounds, and the microSD slot accepts cards up to 128 GB so recording continues even if the network connection drops.

For security teams that need more than basic footage, the camera offers smart detection that identifies people, vehicles, and defined intrusion zones, reducing false alerts from swaying trees or shifting light. When paired with Synology Surveillance Station, it requires no additional license, making it straightforward to add several units to homes, small businesses, warehouses, or government facilities. The hardware meets NDAA and TAA guidelines, which helps organizations that must follow strict procurement standards.
