How many licenses you have used, both the number of activated licenses and the number of temporary (not
activated) licenses
Whether you need to get additional licenses in order to have enough licenses for all of your cameras
Any expiry dates listed on the page are in the management server's local time. Since you are not necessarily located
in the same time zone as the management server, the management server's current local time is displayed in the
bottom right corner of the page.
You can activate licenses online or offline, by expanding
Basics
in the Site Navigation pane, and right-clicking
License
Information
.
The cameras (or dedicated input/output boxes) for which you do not have a license will not send data to the
surveillance system. Cameras added after all available licenses are used are unavailable. Cameras without licenses
will be identified by an exclamation mark symbol when listed in the Management Client's overview pane (see "Panes
Overview" on page 36).
Tip:
In the short period until you have obtained additional licenses, you can disable some less important cameras to
allow some of the new cameras to run instead. See
Manage Hardware
(on page 53) for more information.
Where I Can See How Many Grace Days I Have Left?
This information is also available from the
License
Information
page where you can see if you need to get more licenses so all added cameras can deliver data to RC-E.
When you add a new camera for which you have a license, you are granted a new full grace day period for the
camera in question from the date you added the camera. Therefore the end date of the grace day period displayed on
the
License information
page is for the first added but not activated camera. The duration of the full grace day period
can be found in a
readme
file which is available from Windows' Start menu, by selecting
All Programs > RC-E > Read
Me
.
Getting Additional Licenses
What if you want to add - or if you already have added - more device channels (cameras or dedicated input/output
boxes) than you currently have licenses for? In that case, you must buy additional licenses before the cameras will be
able to send data to your RC-E system.
To get additional licenses for RC-E, contact your OnSSI vendor, or visit www.onssi.com (http://www.onssi.com).
When you have received an updated license file (.lic) with the new licenses, you can activate your licenses.
Tip:
In the short period until you get the additional licenses, you can disable some less important cameras to allow
some of the new cameras to run instead. To disable or enable a camera, expand
Recording Servers
in Management
Client's
Site Navigation pane
(see "
Panes Overview
" on page 36), then select the required recording server, right-click
the required camera, and select
Enable
.
Remote Connect Services
About Remote Connect Services
The Remote Connect Services feature contains the Axis One-click Camera Connection technology developed by Axis
Communications. It enables RC-E to retrieve video (and audio) from external cameras where firewalls and/or router
network configuration normally prevents initiating connections to such cameras. The actual communication takes
place via 'secure tunnel servers' (ST servers).
ST servers use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Only devices holding a valid key can operate within a VPN. This
offers a secure tunnel where data can be exchanged between public networks in a safe way.
Remote Connect Services allows you to...
