Server Licensing
Most Airship DVR/NVR Servers come preconfigured for a certain number of allowed IP
Camera connections. If you go over that preconfigured limit, you will see the following
License information screen. If you do not already have IP Camera licenses for your Airship
Server, contact your Sales representative. Airship Server will allow you to run for 30 days
in demo mode without a license.
1. Start the Airship Server.
2. You will see the following License information screen. Note the number of IP Cameras
licensed and the number configured.
3. Follow the instructions to create a LicenseRequest.dat file that you will need to send to
your Airship Sales representative to acquire a complete license.
4. Click Continue to launch the Airship Server. Note that an unlicensed device will always
cause Airship Server to stop at the license screen before continuing to load and start
any automated recording.
Configuring the IP Camera in Server
Now that the IP Camera connection is defined and licensed, you can configure the IP
Camera just like any other Analog camera. By default, all users can see the new IP Camera,
alarms are turned On but not Active, and no recording is active.
1. Go to Settings
2. Note the Devices tree item where you can see your IP Camera connection information
and use the Configure button to open the IP Camera's web service configuration screen.
3. Click the + next to Cameras. IP Cameras are alwasy listed AFTER any Analog cameras.
4. Click on the IP Camera's icon, which will have the Name of your IP Camera.
5. All configuration options visible are known to be supported by the IP Camera.
Example: If a camera does not have Hue or Brightness controls available, then the
settings will not be visible here.
6. Refer to Settings, Cameras and the sub-articles there to learn how to configure all of the
available settings. You can enable appropriate alarms, create your recording schedule,
and review User Permissions for the new IP Camera.
