Synology Surveillance Station camera options "Edit" and "Enable" are grayed out / unavailable

Problem:  Per title. Possible solution:  You may be using a cell phone as a camera via the "Synology LiveCam" app. If so, Surveillance Station is not able to do the settings for that camera because the relevant settings are done in the app itself.  Tap the gear icon on the LiveCam app screen to find them. If that's not it, the most likely possibility is that the account you are using does not have permissions to use Surveillance Station.  This will have to be fixed in the Control Panel settings of the NAS itself.

Using 18Tb Seagate SkyHawk AI surveillance drives in Synology NAS

These drives work fine on an RS2416RP+ running DSM 6.2, no issues. Don't whine they're "surveillance" drives, blah blah.  They're hard drives, they work like you expect hard drives to work. I don't know about DSM 7.x or newer NAS units, but I see no reason why they wouldn't work on them as well. That's all. [Update]: Over a year now, no issues whatsoever. [Update]:  3 years.  No problems.
