Add hardware: Manually specify the hardware to add

With the Manually specify the hardware to add method, you can specify details about each hardware device separately.

This options is a good choice if you only want to add a few hardware devices, and you know their IP addresses, user names and passwords and so on. Similarly, automated searches on the local network using the Scan for hardware option might not work for all cameras, for example cameras using the system's Universal Driver. For such cameras, you must add these to the system manually.

Alternatively, choose Import CSV file. This option lets you import data about hardware devices and cameras as comma-separated values (CSV) from a file. This is a highly effective method if you set up several similar systems.
