You add cameras and other hardware devices, such as video encoders, to your system through the Add Hardware wizards. If the hardware device has microphones or speakers attached, the tool automatically adds these as well.
You may have a limit on the number of cameras you can use in your system. Note that you can add more cameras than you are allowed to use. If you use video encoder devices on your system, note that many video encoder devices have more than one camera connected to them. For example, a fully used four-port video encoder counts as four cameras.
The wizard offers you two different ways of adding cameras:
Scan for hardware |
Scans your network for relevant hardware devices based on your specifications regarding required IP ranges, discovery methods, drivers, and device user names and passwords. |
Manually specify the hardware to add |
Specify details about each hardware device separately. A good choice if you only want to add a few hardware devices, and you know their IP addresses, required user names and passwords and more. See Add hardware: Manually specify the hardware to add. Alternatively, import data about cameras as comma-separated values from a file. An effective method if you set up several systems. |
