The Axis Communications AXIS Camera Station 4 Camera Base License is a network management software that includes a base license for 4 Axis IP cameras. Each analog camera connected to an Axis video server counts as an individual IP camera and therefore require its own license. Once this software is installed on a computer, users can purchase additional licenses in packs of 1, 5 or 20, as needed. Up to 50 licensed cameras can be managed by a single AXIS Camera Station software, with additional cameras (over 50) requiring the purchase of a second Axis Camera Station base software program. Other computers on the network can share this base license for free.
While a Camera Station base program is always included with an Axis Surveillance Kit, it cannot be combined with another AXIS Camera Station software or Axis Surveillance Kit to provide access to more cameras. The only way to add cameras to an existing AXIS Camera Station software is to buy additional licenses.
With this base license is also included one year free tech support and firmware upgrades from Axis Communications. To extend this, users can acquire a support license, which will give them an additional year of support from the day the original base or support license expires.
