You can add IP devices to the system using the IP Device Discovery Wizard. To open the IP Device Discovery Wizard, click on the Add device... link at the end of the Server device list.
The IP Device Discovery Wizard interface includes:
To start searching for devices, click the Search button. While searching, a progress bar will be displayed.
To stop devices search at any time, click the Stop button.
The search results are color-coded based on the status of the device.
Color of video camera icon | Description |
|---|---|
| Fully supported device |
| Manual configuration required |
| Axxon One compatibility not guaranteed |
|
Search results can be filtered in two ways:
If an IP device is not shown in the 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 IP device to be added, specify the IP address and connection port of the device, and select the manufacturer and model in the area with a neutral background located under the list with automatic search results.
You can also specify the manufacturer and model of the device using the search in the input field.
If the device's IP address, Port, Manufacturer, Username and Password are set, the device model can be automatically detected by clicking the 
button.
To add an IP device to a configuration:
Three modes are available for adding a device to a configuration. These are described in the following table.
Device addition mode | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Add device with default settings | The IP device is added to the configuration with the default settings (the default settings are determined by Axxon One itself). Adding a device in this mode will change the current settings of the device. |
| 2 | Add device with current settings | The IP device is added to the configuration with the current settings, as specified in the web interface. |
| 3 | Add device with template settings | The IP device is added to the configuration with the settings that have been previously specified for a device of the same model in the configuration. Select a device of the same model (the "template device") in the list.
|
When adding a device, you can immediately set several configuration options, such as:
Manufacturer and model.
ID and object name.
|
On motion/Embedded detection – an embedded VMD tool and an automatic rule for writing to the specified archive are automatically created for the camera you are adding. By default, recording stops when an event detection is finished.
This option is available only for devices that have on-board VMD. When creating a new device, the pre-alarm time interval for video footage recording is automatically set to 3 seconds (see Configuring recording to an archive). |
During a single configuration change, you can add a single device or all devices listed in the search results (other than devices for which compatibility is not guaranteed). To add one device, click the 
button. To add all devices, click the Add all button.
Remember that if you add all IP devices at the same time, the same mode and settings will be applied to all of them. |
To remove a device from the search results, click the 
button.
If you set no individual access parameters while adding hardware, a dialog window appears for setting unified access parameters. 
Next, the device is added to the configuration.
When you add a device to the system, the Default permissions will be applied, which are configured for each role (see Configuring user permissions).
To remove IP devices, select one or more objects in the hardware tree by left-clicking (while holding down the Ctrl key) and click the Delete button.
