App Licenses
An IP camera app can be installed in either of the following ways:
-
On an individual IP camera, as described in the “Application Manager” chapter in the Configuration Guide for your camera series. In this situation, you install an app and apply its license on the camera.
-
Using Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM) version 7.6 or later, as described in
Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager User Guide
. In this situation, you configure VSOM to install an app and apply its license to multiple cameras simultaneously.
Table 1-2
lists part numbers for the licenses for the IP camera apps. The license you need depends on how you will install an app.

Obtaining an App
Before you can install an app on an IP camera, you must obtain the file for the app and place the file on your local system or on a system that can be accessed from the IP camera web-based user interface.
You must have a valid service contract and Cisco.com account to obtain an app file. For more information, contact your Cisco representative.
Procedure
Step 1 Open a web browser and go to http://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mode=home#.
Step 2 In the list in the left box near the center of the page, click Products.
Step 3 In the list in the center box near the center of the page, click Connected Safety and Security.
Step 4 In the list in the right box near the center of the page, click Video Surveillance IP Cameras.
Step 5 In the list in the right box near the center of the page, click the link for an IP camera series that supports apps (see Table 1-1).
Step 6 In the list in the right box near the center of the page, click your IP camera model.
Step 7 Click the IP Camera Applications and Utilities link near the top of the page.
Step 8 Click the Download button next to the app file that you want to obtain.
If you are obtaining an app for a CIVS-IPC-6500PD/7530PD IP camera model, the app file name must include PD. For example, SIPClient_PD_V
x
.
x
.cpk.
If you are obtaining an app for a CIVS-IPC-3620/3630/6620/6630 IP camera model, the app file name must include SX. For example, SIPClient_SX_V
x
