Does Synology support Subject recognition?
They used to recognise objects in Synology Moments app that was available on DSM6. Now with DSM7, there is only Synology Photos app available (Photo Station and Moments merged into one).
If you need object recognition and Face recognition is not enough, then you can use DSM6 where this is possible. Alternatively, you can choose any Qnap NAS that supports both of these features.
