- Creating client accounts
  To add video units and assign an administrator username to one or more Stratocast™ accounts, you must first create a client account.
- Modifying client accounts
  After a client account has been created and is active, you can modify the account information, as well as edit or replace the client administrator.
- Replacing the client administrator
  Once a client account is active, you can replace the current client administrator with another user, regardless of their user level or whether they have activated their Stratocast™ account.
- Searching for client accounts
  If the list of client accounts is long and it is difficult to find a particular account, you can search for the account name to find what you are looking for quickly.
- Deleting client accounts
  If a client account is no longer required, you can delete the account so that it is permanently removed from the list of client accounts.
- Client account states
  Once a client account has been added, you can see its real-time status in the Client accounts page.
- Creating sites for client accounts
  To help clients that have multiple sites better manage their accounts, you can create an account for each of their sites and assign the same client administrator username to oversee all sites.
- Accessing your client's Stratocast™ portal
  To view your client's cameras, watch playback video, or export and download video, you can access your client's Stratocast™ portal through your own portal.
- Switching between Stratocast™ accounts
  If your username is registered to multiple Stratocast™ accounts, you can easily access each of these accounts from a single location within your Stratocast™ portal.
- Subscription information
  Your client's subscription information provides an overview of important dates and terms about your client's account. Even after your client account has been created, you can make changes to your client's subscription information.

  As a client administrator, you can add users to one or more of the accounts that you manage, so that they can view your cameras and assist you in monitoring your premises.
- Modifying client users
  After client users have been added to your integrator account, you can modify their information even if they have not yet activated their Stratocast™ account.
- Searching for client users
  If the list of client users is long and it is difficult to find a particular one, you can search for the user by name to find what you are looking for quickly.
- Deleting client users
  If a client user is no longer required, you can delete them so that they are permanently removed from your account.
- Suspending client accounts
  If you have clients who violate their service agreements, or pay their invoices inconsistently, you can suspend their accounts. You can still access their Stratocast™ portals, provided that they have not restricted access.
- Restoring suspended client accounts
  If you have client accounts that have been suspended, you can restore the accounts at any time so that your clients can access their Stratocast™ portals again.
- About push notifications
  A push notification is the delivery of information or a message from a software application to a mobile device, without a specific request from the client. Push notifications can notify an end user about motion detected events on their phone or mobile device.

  To receive notifications about your cameras on your phone or mobile device, you must configure the push notification settings in your Stratocast™ mobile app.

Modifying your client's subscription

2016-08-25

If you want to change your client's subscription term for billing purposes, or you made a mistake when creating your client account, you can modify your client's subscription even if the subscription has yet to start.

What you should know

You can only change the subscription term if the Term start date field is in the Subscription not activated state. The subscription is activated once the first camera that is added to the client account is in the Enrolled state. You can change the renewal term at all times, even if the account has enrolled cameras.

Procedure

Click Clients, and then search for or select an account from the Account name column.
In the Subscription information section, you can modify the following:

Subscription term

The duration of the term of your client's Stratocast™ subscription. For information about subscriptions, see www.stratocast.com.
Important: You can only change the subscription term if the client account does not have any cameras in the Enrolled state. Once cameras are enrolled, any changes to the subscription term will take effect only after the current term ends. For example, if an account is moved from an annual to a monthly term, the monthly billing frequency will only take effect once the current annual term ends.

Renewal term

The frequency that the subscription is renewed at. By default, the renewal term is set at the value that was entered in the Subscription term field when the client account was created.
Click Save, or navigate back to exit the page and cancel your changes.

If you click Save, the Account state field changes from Updating to Active. Your changes to the client account are saved.
