Transitioning to IP with Gen II
Using both Gen I and Gen II capture boards, CompleteView users can move their CompleteView licenses form
analog cameras to IP cameras without purchasing additional licenses.
The process of receiving new IP camera licenses using a Gen I capture board requires the board be sent to
Salient in exchange for the equivalent number of IP camera licenses.
Using Gen II boards, a software setting allows the CompleteView administrator to toggle the gen II analog
camera license to an IP camera license without sending the card back to Salient. Analog licenses can be
transitioned to IP one-at-a-time using the Gen II boards allowing for a smoother transition.
To transition from Analog to IP using a Gen
II board, open CompleteView Server
Configuration.
1.
Select the camera to be converted.
2.
On the General Tab of the camera’s
configuration, check the box labeled
Convert Analog License to IP.
The corresponding analog camera port on the
Gen II board will be deactivated. The IP
configuration tab for the camera will be
enabled allow the camera license to be
configured as an IP camera immediately.
