You can add IP devices to the system using the IP Device Discovery Wizard. To open the IP Device Discovery Wizard, click the Add device link at the end of the Server server device list.

The IP Device Discovery Wizard interface includes:

1. Automatic device search.
2. Manual entry of device data.
3. Adding devices to the configuration.
4. Bulk adding devices using .CSV files (see Bulk creation of IP devices).

Automatic search for IP devices

To stop device search at any time, click the Stop button.

The search results are color-coded based marked by different colors depending on the status of the found device.

Manual input of device data

If an the IP device is not shown absent in the automatic search results (because it is located on a different subnet or the connection with it is temporarily lost), you can add it manually. To do this, you need to select the type of the added IP device to be added, specify the IP address and connection port of the device, and select the vendor and model in the area with a neutral background located under the list with automatic search results.

You can also specify the vendor and model of the device by using the search in the input field.

If the device's IP address, Port, Vendor, Username and Password are set for a device, the device model can be automatically detected by clicking the Image Removed Image Added button.

Adding devices to the configuration

To add an The algorithm of adding the IP device to a the configuration is the following:

• select a mode for adding the a device to the configuration;
• specify the device settings, if necessary;
• the add a device is added to the configuration.

Modes for adding devices to the configuration

Three modes are available for There are three modes of adding a device to a the configuration. These are described Their description is given in the following table.

Configuring IP device settings

When adding you add a device to the configurations, you can immediately set several configuration optionsparameters, such as:

• vendor and model.,

• login and connection password.,

• ID and object name.,

  Info
  title Note
  The object ID can contain numbers, Latin letters, and the "_" sign. Once the device is created, its short name will match the specified ID ( see  see Camera). In this case: The camera ID cannot be changed, since it is used to maintain the connection with the archive when replacing if you replace the camera ( see see Saving the archive when replacing the video signal device). The short name can be changed, and the added devices will be sorted in the object tree in ascending order of this field ( see see Camera).

Adding devices

During a single configuration changeone operation, you can add a single one device or all devices listed in from the search results (other than devices for which compatibility is not to the configuration (except those for which operation isn't guaranteed). To add one device, click the Image Removed Image Added button. To add all devices, click the Add all button.

To remove a device from the search results, click the Image Removed Image Added button.

If you don't set no individual access parameters to the devices while adding hardwarethem, a dialog the window appears for setting the unified access parameters will be displayed.

Next, the a device is added to the configuration.
