If you have deployed Synology High Availability or a CMS failover server, there’s no need to purchase extra license keys for the failover server, as the licenses will be automatically migrated to the failover server when needed.Purchased licenses can be migrated, while default license keys cannot.
If your NAS is designed to work in an offline environment, you can use DS cam to process the license authorization.
By applying the License key on the Surveillance Station user interface, you will be able to set up and manage up to 8 additional Cameras on the network. By default, each Synology NAS supports one Camera License. For fixed lens cameras with independent IP addresses or removable lens cameras, you will need one license per channel. Synology Camera License Packs are designed for expanding Cameras set up on the Synology Surveillance Station. Most fixed lens cameras providing more than one stream at a time require only one license per camera. Synology also provides three options for additional purchased licenses: 1, 4 or 8 Surveillance Device License Packs each comes with a single license key, allowing you to activate 1, 4 or 8 surveillance devices at a time.
There are two types of multi-lens cameras: fixed lens and removable lens. Synology NAS/NVR comes with default licenses 1 that allow you to set up and manage surveillance devices. 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. In the table above, you can see a detailed example of four different camera types.
