Introduction
The Google Map service started to charge users in July 2018. It is no longer a free service for HikCentral and the Hikvision Lens Selection tool. This affects not only Hikvision, but also third-party VMS or design tools. However, it is still possible to apply for an API key and receive USD $200/month credit toward use of the service. For most, this should be enough to cover usage. This document explains how to apply for a key, link the billing to your credit card, and set usage limit notifications to avoid being charged.
New Google Maps Pricing
On July 16, 2018, Google implemented a new pricing policy for Google Maps main functions (search location or show address), which requires a billing account to activate a Google Maps API key.
NOTE: Google provides $200 per month free credit for Google Maps API key use, which should be more than adequate for most users.
Please check Google pricing policies before adding a billing account:
• https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/
• https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/sheet/
To use the Google Map functions and accept the pricing policy, continue with the following steps to create a Google Maps API key to use with HikCentral and the Hikvision Lens Selection tool.
Configuration Process
• Generate a New Google Maps API Key
