NasCam
Synology cameras on Apple TV & Android TV
NasCam turns an Apple TV or Android TV into a live camera wall for a Synology NAS. It talks straight to Surveillance Station. There is no cloud account, and the footage never leaves your network.
It is also the only TV app that plays back Surveillance Station's recorded event history. Motion and AI detections sit on a timeline, so you can jump to the moment something happened instead of scrubbing through hours of video.

Built for a remote, not a mouse
Everything is designed around the focus engine: a camera strip or grid, live previews, and recent events that open the right camera with one click. Playback uses RTSP with an MJPEG fallback for cameras that need it.
Two native apps, one product
The tvOS app came first. The Android TV version is a native port in Kotlin and Compose for TV with strict parity: the same layouts, the same focus behaviour, the same freemium limits and paywall. StoreKit on one side, Google Play Billing on the other.
Setup connects directly by IP or through QuickConnect. Credentials are optional, and on Android they are encrypted with the Keystore. A demo mode with sample cameras lets you try everything without a NAS.
