9.0 Configuring Server and Cameras
A channel is a representation of a camera within the server. Once configured, the server stores this
information necessary to establish and maintain the network connection with the camera(s) in its internal
configuration files. If any of the cameras were offline at the time the server starts, FSM‐IP will make
continuous attempts to establish connection while logging disconnect event.
To add the cameras to the NVR, you can use three methods. The first and easiest method is to use the Fike
Video Analytics video management software. The VMS software is the Fike Video Analytics user interface
that connects to each server so a user can view the cameras, edit camera settings, and view archived events.
The server editor in VMS software is used to add an existing FSM‐IP server into the current configuration. To
add a server to the current configuration select the “Servers” tab and then click the “Add Server” toolbar
button. The follow dialog box will be displayed, Figure 11:

IP Address/Hostname
Enter the IP address or hostname of the FSM‐IP server you want to add.
Port Number
Enter the port number of the FSM‐IP server; default port number is 5010. You must ensure that this
port number is not blocked by a firewall on the computer running the FSM‐IP server software.
