Making a Borealis Payment

Making a Borealis Payment

1.0 Introduction

You can claim a hub and add controllers and other hardware to your system, but the hardware will not be functional until the cloud subscription has been paid.

Note: There is no subscription charge for a hub but there's is an additional charge for extra storage blocks for system transactions. By default, one storage block is included with each hub. One storage block will provide you with the last 1 million system transactions... these are the events that appear on the live events screen, such as: controller and reader online messages, access granted and access denied messages, door open and closed, etc.

  2. Additional Storage Blocks - Additional storage blocks are required if you wish to retain more than 1 million system transactions. Each storage block will provide you with an additional 1 million transactions.
