Add hardware: Enter IP address

Specify information about each hardware device you want to add:

Name

Description

IP Address

The IP address or host name of the hardware device.

Port

The Port number on which to scan. The default is port 80.

If a hardware device is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you may need to specify a different port number. In such cases, remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the port and IP address used by the hardware device.

User Name

The user name for the hardware device's administrator account.

Many organizations use the hardware device manufacturer's default user names for their hardware devices. If that is the case in your organization, select "<default>". Do not type a manufacturer's default user name as this can be a source of error, trust that your system knows the manufacturer's default user name.

You can also select other typical user names, such as admin or root, from the list. Type a new user name if you want a user name which is not on the list.

Password

The password required to access the administrator account. Some hardware devices do not require user name/password for access.

Driver

The driver to scan for your hardware device. By default, the wizard shows the Autodetect option. The Autodetect option finds the relevant driver automatically. Select a manufacturer if you know the specific manufacturer to reduce scanning time.

Once you have added the number of devices and cameras you want to add, your system sets up storage for you. Storage is the location to which your system saves recordings. By default, your system chooses the location with most available disk space.
