Note: It doesn’t matter if you’re using a Synology NAS or Synology NVR with Surveillance Station for video surveillance – you can live stream with both devices.
Note: You can only live stream one camera feed at a time (not multiple cameras, just one).
Note: Even after you stop the live streaming, know that a copy of your streamed video will stay online on your YouTube channel until you delete it.
