ewee 0 Posted November 8, 2010 Acti: ACD-2100 - One license ACD-2200 - 4 licenses ACD-2300 - 8 licenses ACD-2400 - 16 licenses //Emil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted November 8, 2010 I wonder how many Exacq licences it needs. According to Exacq, one license per MAC/device, no matter how many channels. That's incorrect. I just had the same question last week for a job coming up. More than one Exacq employee told me that encoders use 1 license per channel EXCEPT for select Axis 4ch models. I too was looking at using the Acti 16 ch encoder... but not anymore. Between the encoder and license price, I could put just put in IP cams from the start. I sure wish Exacq sold capture cards... Looks like an IP only solution at least for me. Encoders are too damn expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Encoders are too damn expensive. I had a system quoted out using the encoders, with the understanding from several people at Exacq, that only one license per encoder was necessary.... I'm glad I didn't get that job, now! Sorry about the misinformation, but that was the answer I had gotten from several people at Exacq, gotta have a little talk with them now....

Bean00 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Thats what I was told by an Exacq rep as well. What it probably is, is whether the encoder defines a unique IP address for each camera. If it does, each channel is a license. If it doesn't, each encoder is a license. That would mean that the ACD2000Q from acti would be a single license, as well as the Axis models previously mentioned. My guess anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I am quoting a job to replace (11) 16 channel DVRs with encoders $26,400 or $1650 for licenses that is a BIG difference in price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpine0000 0 Posted November 15, 2010 OK so here is the list for Exacq that I know to be true from my tests. Feel free to add to the list One Exacq license AXIS: 4Port 240Q 241Q 241QA Four Exacq Licenses Axis: 4Port Q4704 I'm asssuming you meant the Q7404? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
