ExacqVision Advantage + Illustra Cameras: Free Camera Licenses, Faster Installs, and Enhanced Security


Organizations deploying video surveillance systems are always looking for ways to reduce licensing costs while simplifying installation and improving cybersecurity. That's exactly what the ExacqVision Advantage with Illustra Cameras program delivers.

When paired with qualifying Built by Exacq (BBE) servers, Illustra Pro and Flex Gen 3+ cameras are eligible for no-charge ExacqVision IP camera licenses - Professional or Enterprise, helping customers maximize their surveillance investment while streamlining deployment.


Why ExacqVision Advantage Matters


Traditional VMS deployments often require separate camera licensing purchases and manual configuration steps. Exacq has simplified the process by providing free camera licenses for eligible Illustra cameras and automating security configuration during installation.


Key Benefits


✅ No-charge IP channel licenses

  • Available for eligible Illustra Pro and Flex Gen 3+ cameras

  • Works with qualifying Built by Exacq servers

✅ Instant License Activation

  • Register licenses through the self-service portal

  • Licenses are generated immediately without waiting for manual processing or promotional codes

✅ Faster Camera Deployment

  • Cameras can be discovered and added directly through ExacqVision

  • Security hardening is applied automatically during setup, reducing installation time and effort

✅ Enhanced Cybersecurity

  • Cameras are automatically configured for enhanced security mode

  • HTTPS is enabled and unsecured protocols are disabled

How It Works


The ExacqVision network scan automatically detects compatible Illustra cameras directly from factory default settings.

This reduces commissioning time and helps ensure systems are deployed following cybersecurity best practices.
