If your NAS is designed to work in an offline environment, you can use DS cam to process the license authorization. To activate or deactivate license keys on your Surveillance Station, please make sure you can access the Internet to connect to Synology’s Authorization Server.One license can be applied to one Synology product at a time.Network Video Recorder: 4 default licenses.You only need to purchase extra licenses when your deployment requires more licenses than the default ones listed below: The number of default licenses may differ.The installation wizard will guide you through adding device licenses into Surveillance Station. In Surveillance Station, go to Main Menu > License > then click Add. This rule also applies to video servers that are compatible with Surveillance Station. In this case, you will need eight licenses accordingly. Video servers such as Vivotek VS8801 can connect to as many as eight analog cameras. If you wish to display all five channels in Surveillance Station, you will need five licenses accordingly. Axis F44 (with as many as four lenses) allows you to stream up to five channels, with four of the channels displaying footage from the four lenses, and the fifth channel combining the view of all four cameras. If you want to display all three channels in Surveillance Station, you will need three licenses.
40 licenses Synology Surveillance Station hack license for 40 cameras instead of 2 built-in ones. Synology Surveillance Station 8.2.7 license keygen. For example, you can add as many as three lenses to Axis Q3709-PVE, which allows you to stream up to three channels. Synology does not work with generated keys. For fixed lens cameras with independent IP addresses or removable lens cameras, you will need one license per channel. Most fixed lens cameras providing more than one stream at a time require only one license per camera. There are two types of multi-lens cameras: fixed lens and removable lens. Each regular and panoramic camera requires one license only. Certain panoramic cameras (e.g., Axis M3007) supporting on-camera dewarping may provide more than one stream (e.g., Quad View, Double Panorama, and Original View) at a time. I haven't tried to re-use the keys (as I can see trashing the licenses would be a nightmare to sort out) and TBH the system is fairly priced so £40/cam is not an issue, I just need better hardware than Synology offer (ILO in particular, but Xeons, large RAM, 10GBs) so it works for me.In the table above, you can see a detailed example of four different camera types.
I didn't use the real Synology MAC or Serial but they have been up for years all fine. You may have to manually define the cam storage volume (huge effort, takes seconds) but this does work and I have several HP Proliants running large cams counts effortlessly by this method. Synology Camera License Packs are designed for expanding cameras set up on the Synology Surveillance Station.
One thing that does work, but is a bit a ******* for anything other than a new setup, is :-īuild a single disk real Synology box (make sure the box you choose it capable of the number of cams you need, there are limits defined) load up all your licences.īuild your Xpenology box up, "seed" the install by importing the single drive from you existing real Synology, you now have Xpenology with licenses loaded, add more HDDs as you like and you are good to go. The reason it no longer works is because Synology have changed their T&C's around moving licences, even on genuine hardware. Still looking for a more permanent solution, and I'm ready to buy more licences if I get it working. Not very convenient as they have separate timelines. My workaround: I am running separate Xpenology instance on ESXi for every pair of cameras.
I also tried to fall back to the oldest possible surveillance station with no success. Might be that there are some detection mechanisms for non genuine HW.
I have also tried the original MAC and SN from the DS112, with still the connection failed message at activation the licence. I have tried SN and MAC pair generated by the excel file available in the net.
Now I have gone over to ESXi based environment and the licence does not activate anymore, giving the "connection failed" error The same licence worked also on baremetal Xpenology 6.02. I have bought a licence for the 3-rd cam which worked well on DS112 box. Coming back to the initial question with some answers and no solution
