Getting Started

This article explains how to activate licenses for additional features on Avonic CM70- and CM93-series PTZ cameras via the WebGUI. By following the steps in the correct order, you ensure that the activation process runs smoothly and without errors.

  • Update the camera to MCU and Camera firmware version 1.1.4 or later. Only then will the System → License page be available.
  • Locate the unique MAC address of your camera (box label, sticker under the camera, or WebGUI: Network → Ethernet).
  • Connect the camera to the network and access the WebGUI.
  • Go to SYSTEM → License, enter the license key, and click SAVE.
  • Refresh the page (F5) or log out/in again to complete the activation.

Finding the MAC Address
