Review summaries: Synology BC800Z 4K IP Outdoor Security Bullet Camera, 8MP Varifocal Lens 4.38 to 9.33 mm, Hybrid Light Night Vision (31-38m), IP66/67 Weather Resistant, NDAA & TAA Compliant

Large but capable 4K outdoor security camera

This 4K outdoor bullet camera is roughly three times the size and weight of a typical bullet camera, including other Synology models. Resolution is outstanding and night vision works well. People, vehicle, and motion detection all function, with motion alerts less prone to false triggers from shifting light and clouds than cheaper cameras. License plate reading is not very reliable, possibly due to a high mounting position under eaves. It works with Synology Surveillance Station, which tracks and digitally zooms on people or vehicles. Optical zoom is manually adjustable via PC or mobile software, useful for setting and changing the field of view. Microphone audio and PoE work as expected.
