Discovering the H4 ES Site

When you open the ACC Client software, the Site Login tab displays a list of all the sites that were automatically
discovered on the network. If the H4 ES camera site is not listed, it may be connected to a different subnet and
needs to be manually discovered.

There are two methods for manually discovering the H4 ES camera in the ACC Client software: through the USB
Wifi Adapter, or by first discovering the camera component in the ACC Client.

USB Wifi Adapter Method

If you have access to a USB Wifi Adapter, you can connect to the camera mobile web interface and assign a
static IP address that can be used to discover the site in the ACC Client.

manually discover the site.
