Encoder Licensing
Encoders must also be licensed to connect to a Vodafone Business Surveillance Server. This can be done
during the account creation on Vodafone Business Surveillance Server or, if no licence has been assigned,
be requested by the encoder during configuration
In no licence is currently assigned the Server Settings page will provide a link where the user can request
a licence from the server (if available). The form will also show the features enabled within the selected
licence.
Step 3 - Adding video feeds to the encoder
There are two main ways to add an IP camera:
FastConnect – designed to make it simple to add new cameras ‘out-of-the-box’ directly to an
encoder, without the need for the user to know the camera IP Address or configure the camera in
advance of connection.
Auto-Discover – designed for discovering cameras, either directly
connected to the encoder or through a LAN connection that has
already been configured with the correct network settings.
Consider the following questions when deciding which method to use:
FastConnect
Auto-Discover
