CAMERA DISCOVERY

 page is displayed. Each newly

the camera by the Wizard, after which the camera reboots. 
It may take a few minutes before the cameras are discovered and 
added. You will see a 

Discovery in progress…

 indicator in 

addition to a pop-up message on the lower right of your monitor. 
The list disappears as the cameras are added to the MAXPRO
