Expandable Licensing for Surveillance Devices
Enhance Your Surveillance Capabilities with Additional Licenses
The Synology Surveillance Device License Pack is designed for businesses and individuals looking to expand their surveillance capabilities on Synology Surveillance Station. It's suitable for adding more cameras, I/O modules, intercoms, access controllers, IP speakers, and transaction devices.
Licensing Plan
- Default Licenses: Synology NAS/NVR comes with default licenses which vary by model. These licenses enable the management of surveillance devices.
- Purchasable License Packs: Offers options for 1, 4, or 8 Surveillance Device License Packs. Each pack contains a single license key to activate the corresponding number of surveillance devices.
License Units
- General Rule: Typically, each IP camera, I/O module, IP speaker, intercom, and access controller requires one license. Transaction devices generally need two licenses.
- Multi-Lens Cameras and Video Servers: May require additional licenses. For example, a multi-lens camera like Axis Q3709-PVE with three lenses needs three licenses for displaying all channels.
License Activation and Management
- Process: Licenses can be added in Surveillance Station under Main Menu > License > Add. An installation wizard will guide through the process.
- Internet Connection: Activation or deactivation of licenses requires internet access to connect to Synology’s Authorization Server. Offline activation can be done using DS cam.
- Migration: Purchased licenses can be migrated to a different Synology product, but default licenses cannot.
