ZKTeco ZKBio CVSecurity Video Management Licence, Channel Packages

Overview

This licence sets how many video channels your ZKTeco ZKBio CVSecurity server can manage, bringing network video recorders (NVRs) and cameras into the same platform as your doors. Control rooms use it to view live and recorded video, handle intelligent camera alarms and bring up video for door events. A 16 channel package is included with the base platform; this licence adds 32 or 64 channel packages, channel add-ons and an optional video patrol feature, with larger systems sized as a project.

Is it right for you?

• Count the camera channels that need a licence: ZKTeco devices are supported by default without licence control, while cameras and recorders from other brands need licensed channels.
• The included 16 channel package does not support ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum).
• Above 64 channels is a project quotation; the platform supports up to 1,024 channels.

Choosing your package

• Economic: 32 channels.
• Economic-2: 64 channels.
• Add-on channel: one channel at a time within 17 to 64, for packages of 16 to 64 channels.
• Add-on, 4 channels: a block of 4 channels within the same range.
• Video patrol: enables the video patrol feature, licensed as its own line.
• Above 64 channels: sized as a project.

Key features

• Live preview of up to 64 channels at once, and playback of 16 channels at the same time.
• Up to 1,024 channels per platform.
• Intelligent camera alarms handled in the same interface as access events.
• Video linked to door events, so an alarm or door event brings up the matching footage.

What else you need

• A running ZKBio CVSecurity server.
• Supported recorders and analytics devices from ZKTeco’s smart video surveillance device list: ZKNVR models, ZKIVA-Edge T1 and X1, and the listed third-party NVRs.
• For add-on channels, an existing package of 16 to 64 channels on the same server.

Installation

Nothing is shipped. The licence arrives as a serial number (SN) licence file, which your CVSecurity administrator or installer activates on the server: online under Admin, About, or offline by pairing the SN file with a UPK file that the software generates, on ZKTeco’s activation page. Once registered, the licence is bound to that server; if the server is replaced, ZKTeco’s self-service licence reset moves it to the new one.

Software and licences

This licence applies to the Smart Video Surveillance module of ZKBio CVSecurity (6.8.x).
