Synology Brings AI-Powered Private Cloud, Backup, and New Surveillance Solutions to Computex 2026

Synology had plenty to show at Computex 2026 in Taipei, unveiling a broad range of new products and software updates focused on AI, private cloud, data protection, and surveillance, but while many focused on AI, Synology focused on keeping users data private and under control with all those AI enhancements. The biggest update is the next generation of DSM, Synology’s operating system that powers its NAS systems. The company is leaning heavily into AI features, adding smarter automation tools, AI-assisted workflows, and improved management for both businesses and larger deployments. Since the company is focusing on data security, those same AI features are meant to be run locally instead of relying entirely on cloud services.

Synology also showcased updates to its ActiveProtect platform, including ActiveProtect Manager 2.0 and the new DP5200, which promises further flexibility for deployment. The updated platform now supports more cloud and virtualization services while also adding AI-powered threat and anomaly detection. The company is obviously focusing on enterprise backup and cybersecurity due to raising AI-related security issues. On the surveillance side, which also fell victim to AI, Synology introduced new cameras, access control products, and updated DVA systems with smarter AI-powered search and tracking capabilities. The company also previewed Surveillance365, a hybrid cloud surveillance platform aimed at easier remote and multi-site monitoring.

The company also expanded its Synology Office Suite with new communication tools called ChatPlus and Meet. Both are designed as private alternatives to cloud-based collaboration platforms while still offering AI-powered features like transcription and translation. Synology emphasized that all data remains on-premises and fully controlled by the organization.

For consumers, Synology showed updated BeeStation and BeeStation Plus systems, alongside BeeCamera home monitoring support and a new AI-powered local search feature called Deep Search. Similar to the company’s enterprise push, the focus here is on private AI that works locally without sending personal data to external cloud services.
