Hikvision HikCentral-L-VSS-1CH-Storage

The Hikvision HikCentral-L-VSS-1CH-Storage is a software license designed for the HikCentral Lite Video Management System (VMS).

To understand its role, it helps to distinguish between a standard camera channel license and a storage license in the HikCentral environment.

Video Management License: HikCentral Lite is the software platform used to manage cameras, NVRs, and access control. While HikCentral Lite often comes with a certain number of “free” viewing channels, this license is an add-on that specifically enables the server-based storage function for one camera channel.Server-Side Recording: By default, cameras often record to an NVR (Network Video Recorder) or an SD card inside the camera itself. This license allows you to configure the HikCentral Lite server (the PC running the software) to act as the recording destination for a camera.
