HikCentral Licences

HikCentral licences here include base, expansion and module licences for Hikvision's HikCentral Professional platform, with HikCentral Lite licences alongside. The HIKCENTRAL-P-VSS-1Ch adds one camera channel once a HikCentral Professional base licence is present, and the HIKCENTRAL-P-ACS-1DOOR manages 1 door or 1 outdoor station in an existing HikCentral access control system. Modules add functions that include visitor management, emergency mustering, guard patrol and SmartWall video wall control.

Choosing HikCentral Licences

Start with the base licence for the system, then add expansion licences and modules to it.

Base licences

Frequently asked questions

What does a HikCentral Lite licence cover?

A HikCentral Lite licence covers one video channel, one ANPR channel or one access control door on the HikCentral Lite VMS. The HikCentral-L-ACS-1Door supports one access control door, and the HikCentral-L-VSS-1Ch/ANPR one channel of ANPR and video. A HikCentral Lite system with the HikCentral-L-ACS-1Door starts at 32 video channels and 4 doors, expandable to 128 channels and 32 doors, with video and access control linkage and on-map monitoring.

What does a HikCentral Professional video base licence provide?

A HikCentral Professional video base licence provides the core video management platform, such as live view, recording, playback and alarm management, that add-on licences and modules build on. The HikCentral-P VSS-Base 64CH includes 64 camera channels, expandable with add-on channel licences, and adds health monitoring and e-maps. The HikCentral-P-VSS-16ch/Base includes 16 channels, and the HikCentral-P-VSS-300Ch/Base manages up to 300.

What is HikCentral?

HikCentral is software for managing security systems, such as video security, access control and alarms, from a single platform. The HIKCENTRAL-P-ACS-BASE/16DOOR is a HikCentral Professional base licence, and the platform supports combining application plug-ins under one architecture. The HikCentral-L-VSS-1Ch, a HikCentral Lite licence, is scalable to 128 video channels and 32 doors.

Which HikCentral licences build on the access control base?

Door expansion, outdoor station, visitor management and mustering licences build on the HikCentral access control base, some with an alternative base package allowed. The HIKCENTRAL-P-ACS-1DOOR requires the access control base package or the video door entry module expansion package, and the HikCentral-P-OutdoorStation-1Unit an Access Control Base or Unified Base package. The HikCentral-P-Visitor-Module requires HikCentral Professional and the Access Control (ACS) base pack.

What does a HikCentral ANPR licence add?

A HikCentral ANPR licence adds one ANPR channel to an existing HikCentral installation, for automatic licence-plate capture, plate search and match or mismatch alarms. The HikCentral-P-VSS-1Ch/ANPR is an extension licence that needs an active HikCentral Professional (VSS) base installation and an ANPR-capable camera. The HikCentral-L-VSS-1Ch/ANPR supports one channel of ANPR and video on HikCentral Lite.
