I’m interested in the Avigilon Appearance Search, does anyone know if this is included with the base camera license? If not, do we know ballpark pricing per camera stream to add this functionality?

There is no additional licensing cost for this feature.

Is there a limit to the number of cameras that can use this feature?

Appearance search requires ACC6 Enterprise licenses, so not part of "base" licenses. Enterprise licenses start at $335 MSRP, but are discounted for multiple channel bulk purchases.

It also requires the HD-NVR3-ANK1-1 "Analytics Kit" (an NVIDIA card) which is $980 MSRP.

You need either Avigilon analytics cameras or analytics appliances with third party cameras to take advantage of Appearance Search.

Appearance Search is included in the ACC 6 Enterprise license cost. 

You need a Windows server with the "Analytics Kit" (NVIDIA CARD) running ACC 6 Enterprise.

You also need H4A or H3A cameras.

You are only limited by the server throughput and GPU power. 

We have servers with 150 cameras running Appearance Search without issues.

Do you use a standard Windows server or an Avigilon branded server?

You can use either.  However, to ease the challenges support would have supporting a third party provided server we always purchase the Avigilon units.  It is not that support will not support you, but it does streamline a lot of challenges just purchasing the Avigilon unit.  I have not had a customer yet who provided their own server and has not regretted it.
