Synology FC600: Kamera typu rybie oko o kącie 360 stopni wreszcie w sprzedaży (2026)

The Synology FC600 went on sale worldwide on 23 September 2026, more than two years after Synology first showed it at its June 2024 Solution Exhibition. There was no press release. The launch simply appeared as four new videos on Synology’s YouTube channel, all dated the same day, and a product page that quietly switched to “Buy now”. The Synology FC600 is a 6MP, 360-degree fisheye camera designed for ceilings: one lens that covers a whole room, dewarped into several ordinary views in Surveillance Station. This guide covers what the Synology FC600 does, where it fits next to the BC510 and TC510, how it behaves on Surveillance Station versus Surveillance365, and the limits worth knowing before you order one.

Punkt SynoPower Club: I heard about this launch from Synology staff at Solution Day, not from a newsroom, and the product page backs them up. Here is the part the spec sheet will not tell you: a fisheye is an overview camera, not an identification camera. The Synology FC600 answers “what happened in this room” better than anything else Synology sells, but at 3 metres it is already at the edge of identifying a face. Put it in the middle of the ceiling for the story, and keep a turret on the door for the face.

What Is the Synology FC600?

The Synology FC600 is an indoor fisheye camera with a 1/2.5-inch sensor, a fixed 1.53 mm F2.0 lens and a 2560×2560 image at 30 frames per second. The lens covers 187 degrees horizontally and vertically, so a single camera on the ceiling sees the whole floor below it. Synology’s own shorthand for it is “one fisheye equals four cameras”.

It is the fifth model in the current Synology camera line, and at Solution Day 2026 it was listed as one of four Synology cameras that connect straight to Surveillance365. My write-up of that event covers the rest of the roadmap: Synology Solution Day 2026 recap.

Synology FC600 vs BC510, TC510 and CC410W

The other Synology cameras point in one direction. The Synology FC600 looks straight down and sees everything, which changes what it is good at.

	FC600	BC510 / TC510	CC410W
Type	360-degree fisheye	Bullet / turret	Wi-Fi cube
Rezolucja	6MP (2560×2560)	5MP (2880×1620)	4MP (2560×1440)
Pole widzenia	187° H / V / D	110° H, 56° V	125° H, 72° V
Widzenie nocne	10 metrów	30 metrów	10 metrów
On-camera AI	People only	People and vehicles	People and vehicles
Weather rating	None (indoor)	IP66 / IP67 (TC510 adds IK10)	IP65
Connection	PoE or 12V DC	PoE	2.4 / 5 GHz Wi-Fi
Gwarancja	3 lata	3 lata	2 lata

Two rows matter most. The Synology FC600 detects people but not vehicles, which is fine indoors and a problem anywhere cars are involved. And it has no weather rating, so it is an indoor camera only. For outdoor or vehicle work, look at the bullet and turret instead: Recenzja Synology BC510.

Synology FC600 Setup in 4 Steps

Synology published separate setup videos for installing the hardware, for Surveillance Station and for Surveillance365. The four steps below follow them.

Dewarping: One Lens, Several Views

A raw fisheye image is a distorted circle. Dewarping turns it into flat views that look like ordinary cameras. Synology lists four dewarping types for the Synology FC600:

• 1O+3R: the original circle plus three regional views, useful when you want context and detail on the same screen.
• 180-degree panoramic: the natural choice for a wall mount facing into a room.
• 1P+2R: one panorama plus two regional views.
• Quad view: four regional views, which is where “one fisheye equals four cameras” comes from.

The dewarped streams run at a lower frame rate than the main image. On Surveillance Station the ceiling panorama is listed at 2560×640 at 15 FPS and the four-region view at 1280×960 at 10 FPS, while the full fisheye circle stays at 30 FPS. For watching a room that is plenty. For fast movement, record the full circle and dewarp during playback.

Co wykrywa sztuczna inteligencja na kamerze

All analytics run on the camera itself, so a regular Synology NAS is enough. There is no need for a DVA. On Surveillance Station the Synology FC600 supports:

• Wykrywanie osób, which filters out moving shadows, curtains and pets.
• People counting by line crossing or area, with live counting across cameras and exportable counting reports.
• Wykrywanie włamań in one or both directions across a virtual line.
• Crowd and loitering detection for queues, lobbies and waiting areas.
• Natychmiastowe wyszukiwanie for people or motion in a chosen area, and Automatyczne śledzenie that keeps a moving person centred.
• Wykrywanie dźwięku i manipulacji, so a blocked or knocked lens raises an alert.

People counting is the feature that makes a fisheye worth its price. A ceiling camera sees everyone from above without people hiding behind each other, which is exactly the view a counting line needs.

Surveillance Station vs Surveillance365 on the Synology FC600

The Synology FC600 works on both platforms, but the feature list is noticeably shorter in the cloud. This comes from Synology’s software specification table:

	Surveillance Station	Monitoring365
Main stream	Up to 2560×2560, H.264 or H.265	2560, 1280 or 800 square, H.264 only
Maximum bitrate	6,656 kbps	3,072 kbps
Dewarped sub-streams	Tak	Not supported
People counting	Tak	Not supported
Instant Search / Auto Tracking	Tak	Not supported
People, intrusion, loitering	Tak	Tak
Nagranie	microSD and Synology NAS	microSD
RTSP connections	Up to 4	Not supported

In short: if you want the Synology FC600 for people counting or retail analytics, it belongs on Surveillance Station. On Surveillance365 it is a simple, cloud-viewable overview camera. Our Surveillance365 guide explains the cloud side in detail: Synology Surveillance365 tutorial.

How Synology FC600 Licensing Works

Synology’s product page is clear that a Surveillance Device License is required when the Synology FC600 records to a NAS through Surveillance Station. Every NAS includes two free licenses, so the first two cameras of any brand cost nothing extra. Beyond that you need one license per camera, bought once rather than as a subscription.

The fisheye does not change that arithmetic. The Synology FC600 is one camera and uses one device license, even when Surveillance Station splits it into four dewarped views. Synology’s own NAS setup video confirms this: the FC600 appears as a single entry in the IP Camera list. That is the real value behind “one fisheye equals four cameras”: four views of a room for the license cost of one.

On Surveillance365, a Synology camera on the free Standard plan needs no device license at all. Our license guide covers prices and pack sizes: Koszt licencji Surveillance Station.

Limits to Know Before You Buy the Synology FC600

• Indoor only. There is no IP or IK rating and the operating range is −10°C to 45°C. Do not put it under an eave or in an unheated warehouse that freezes.
• No vehicle detection. The analytics are people-only. Car parks, driveways and loading bays need a BC510 or BC800Z.
• Overview, not identification. Synology’s own DORI figures put identification at 3 m. Faces at the edge of the circle will not be usable as evidence.
• Plan the PoE budget. At 11.5 W it draws more than twice as much as a BC510. Count it properly when sizing a switch.
• Fast Ethernet only. The port is 10/100 Mbps, which is enough for the stream but worth knowing if you expected gigabit.
• Cloud is the lighter option. On Surveillance365 you lose dewarped sub-streams, people counting, Instant Search and Auto Tracking.
• Mind privacy. A camera that sees an entire room also sees everything in it. Use the privacy masks (up to 5 zones) around screens, desks and changing areas, and check local rules on recording audio.
