Plus licensing delivers more powerful tools, smarter analytics, and greater operational flexibility. This page highlights the enhanced features and capabilities now available to help you get more value from your system.

What You Gain with Plus

For all customers previously on EDU Licenses, your EDU licenses automatically converted to Plus licensing. With this transition to Plus, you retain all existing capabilities you utilize today, but now have access to:

AI-Powered Search: Stop scrolling through hours of video. Use Attribute Filters (like clothing color or vehicle type) and Similarity Search to locate persons or vehicles of interest in seconds.
Proactive Security: Leverage Location Arming and Cloud Event Recording to reduce false alarms and ensure critical events are backed up to the cloud automatically.
Enhanced Intelligence: Enable server-side analytics including Person/Vehicle Detection, Line Crossing, and License Plate Recognition (LPR) to turn your video data into actionable insights.
Expanded Capacity: Enjoy increased Cloud Clip Storage (up to 1 GB per camera / 6 GB per recorder) for increased video retention.
