Detaily
Software licenses are project-specific products. The price depends on the application and is negotiable.
HikCentral is an all-in-one professional platform for managing video surveillance systems. It is available as software for installation on a workstation or as a dedicated server with the software installed. The system is based on the client-server architecture: the software runs on the main server and client workstations gain access through a computer network. Thanks to that the system is centralized: the administrator assigns the appropriate roles and gives permissions to client workstations. Any alarm events and notifications can be configured so as to reach only the specified client workstations. The settings are stored on the server and the client that connects does not have to go through the configuration process. The server can establish links between individual elements, e.g. pressing a button on a video intercom panel may activate the PTZ camera and send a notification to a specific client workstation.
The basic license applies only to the basic camera functions and system management. In your inquiry/order, please specify the required number of supported channels and details of any extra functions to be supported. Optional modules include work time recording and access control systems, parking space management, DeepLearning image analysis: face recognition and ANPR or vehicle chassis monitoring (UVSS).

Uniform
Single platform that integrates various systems: video surveillance, access control, ANPR systems, radars, heat maps, people counting, POS systems, video walls and third-party systems. One of the key features included is creating links between different devices, e.g. an access control event can switch the video wall camera system.
Highly scalable and available
A single server supports up to 3,000 cameras, it is possible to combine multiple servers to be controlled by one RSM management server. A system of 1,024 servers and 100,000 cameras can be built. Each server can be managed locally, with the central management server located in the company's headquarters.
