Note: Early termination fees may apply if your account is under contract.
There is no limit on the number of users per account.
Yes, charges are based on the amount of video data viewed by clients during the month.
A portion of the data charge will come from video views, though most clients typically review only a small fraction of their stored video.
Expect the majority of data usage to stem from storage itself.
As an integrator, you’ll create customer accounts and connect cloud cameras to the Starllion™ cloud via ONVIF, direct RTSP, or HTTP URL through our admin portal.
All video footage is stored in the cloud and accessible to end-users via Web or Mobile apps.
Charges are based on either a pay-per-use model for storage and outbound traffic (inbound traffic is not charged) or a monthly fee per camera.
Starllion™ offers a full range of services to integrators, including an admin portal, customer portal, and end-user apps (mobile, web, and executable). Features include cloud and local/hybrid recording, flexible alarm schedules, and an API for integrating with existing alarm or access management systems. There’s also a branding option.

Click the link labeled “Forgot your Password?” on the login screen and follow the prompts.
A password reset link will be sent via email shortly after.
Yes, recorded video can be exported and saved to a local computer.
Alternatively, saved clips are stored indefinitely in the Starllion™ Library and remain accessible as long as the account remains active.
Video data is stored on a "rolling" basis. As new data is added, older data is deleted to free up space. The number of days data is retained can be adjusted at any time, and data usage is continuously monitored. At the end of each month, a total amount of data usage is provided.
Yes, limits can be set on accounts to prevent users from changing camera resolution settings or accessing video on too many devices or machines.
Starllion™ places no limits on the number of cameras or the duration of stored footage.
The only restriction is the available bandwidth at the site where the cameras are located.
For instance, a 720p resolution camera at 15 FPS typically uses 300 kbit/sec of bandwidth and 25GB of storage for 7 days of continuous recording.
Account Management
Yes, various user account levels are available.
Custom access permissions can be set for individual users, restricting the number of cameras they can view or control.
Please reach out to us, and assistance will be provided to help set up the account.
Pricing Plan
No, Starllion™ services are available on a month-to-month basis.
However, discounted rates are offered for term-based services.
If more data is used than what has been pre-paid, a portion of the on-demand price for the extra usage will be calculated for the month.
Storage fees are calculated based on the average data usage in kilobytes per day over the billing month.
For example, if 0.5 TB of data is used for the first 20 days and 2 TB for the remaining 10 days, the charge will be based on an average of 1 TB for the entire 30-day month.
Yes. Charges are based on the amount of video data viewed by clients during the month.
This means a portion of the data charges will come from video viewing.
Typically, clients review only a small portion of the video stored, so the majority of the data usage will come from storage itself.
Software Configuration
Push Modules are compatible with a variety of cameras, such as Axis, UNV, HIK, Sunell, TVT, Milesight, Vivotek, Tiandy, and Hanwha.
To view the complete list of supported cameras, kindly log in to our Knowledge Base.
The Starllion™ solution is optimized to support only H.264 for enhanced performance.
Both the User Interface and Admin Portal are fully web-based and do not require any additional software to be installed, except for a browser such as Google Chrome.
Starllion™ mobile apps are compatible with both Android and Apple devices.
Hardware Configuration
For smooth video playback, a minimum of 700 kbit/sec is typically recommended for full HD streams.
However, this requirement can vary depending on the camera manufacturer, codecs used, and desired video quality.
In some cases, 50 kbit/sec may suffice, while advanced features like face recognition or license plate reading may require higher bandwidth.
Yes, Axis cameras are supported, along with any other IP cameras. Installing the PUSH module on Axis cameras is recommended.
The PUSH module allows cameras to connect directly to the AWS cloud via an HTTPS tunnel.
This setup is highly reliable and secure, as it avoids intermediate servers, which are often unsuitable for continuous streaming.
The direct cloud connection reduces the risk of security vulnerabilities, especially those related to port forwarding and internet hacking threats.
Unlike P2P servers, the Starllion PUSH Module works well even with ISP port restrictions, as it streams generic HTTPS traffic.
Currently, the Starllion™ PUSH Module supports Uniview, Hikvision, and Axis open-platform cameras.
Axis cameras can also be connected to the Starllion™ platform through the ONVIF protocol without the PUSH module.
Yes, Starllion™ supports analog cameras through a hybrid NVR connection.
