Enabling IP VCR features 
The IP VCR requires activation before most of its features can be used. (If the IP VCR has not been activated, the banner 
at the top of the web interface will show a prominent warning; in every other respect the web interface will look and 
behave normally.)  
Advanced IP VCR features (such as Video Firewall) are not enabled as standard, and require additional activation. For 
information about configuring the video firewall, refer to the FAQ section in the support pages of the 
If this is a new IP VCR you should receive the unit already activated; if it is not, you have upgraded to a newer firmware 
version, or you are enabling a new feature, you may need to contact Codian or your supplier to obtain an appropriate 
activation code. Activation codes are unique to a particular IP VCR so ensure you know the unit's serial number such that 
you may receive a code appropriate to your IP VCR. 
Regardless of whether you are activating the IP VCR or enabling an advanced feature, the process is the same: 
1.  Check the 
Activated features
 (IP VCR activation is shown in this same list) to confirm that the feature you 
require is not already activated. 
2.  Enter the new feature code into the 
Activation code
 field exactly as you received it, including any dashes. 
3.  Click 
Update features
. The browser window should refresh and list the newly activated feature, showing the 
activation code beside it. Activation codes may be time-limited. If this is the case, an expiry date will be 
displayed, or a warning that the feature has already expired. Expired activation codes remain listed, but the 
corresponding feature will not be activated.  
If the activation code is not valid, you will be prompted to re-enter it. 
4.  It is recommended that you record the activation code in case you need to re-enter it in the future. 
Successful IP VCR or feature activation has immediate effect and will persist even if the unit is restarted.
