Try GC Surge without your own hardware with demo cameras, and use the checklist before a real site goes live.
Watch:
Demo cameras let you try GC Surge without your own hardware. They are available only during the free trial. When the trial has ended, you can no longer add them.
When one of your own cameras sends its first alarm, GC Surge removes the demo cameras and the empty demo sites. After that, you can no longer add demo cameras: the option is disabled, and its tooltip explains why.
Demo cameras added shows the demo sites and cameras that were added. Click View Sites & Cameras to see them.

To remove the demo cameras:
You can also delete each demo site on its own: in the row of the demo site, click Actions > Delete site.
Symptom | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
"Could not add demo cameras. Please try again." | A temporary problem. | Try again. |
Add demo cameras is disabled | One of your own cameras already sends alarms. The demo cameras were removed. | Nothing to do. Work with your own cameras. |
