3.1 Adding a Device
The part labelled
Activation Settings – Pool of Assigned IP
is related to the possibility of automatic assigning
of
IP Addresses
to devices connected to the IPCorder (i.e. cameras). If you select
Assign an IP Address
in
the settings of a subordinate device (i.e. camera or sensor), the IPCorder will automatically assign the address
according to the scale specified here.
•
Start / End Address
– Defines the scale of IP Addresses, which the IPCorder can distribute among its
subordinate devices.
Warning: In case you change the parameters of the scale, the devices do not change their addresses
automatically. That means that the devices that have acquired their addresses automatically will continue
operating on the same addresses even though their addresses might now be outside the newly defined limits
of the scale.
Next the list of all the detected devices, which have not been added yet, is displayed. To successfully add a
device, it is necessary that the
Activate checkbox
is ticked and the basic parameters configured.
The obligatory item
Device Name
serves for identification of the device within the system. This name will be
displayed to all the users (for example “Kitchen, 2nd floor” for a camera monitoring this room). The device name
can contain spaces and various national alphabet signs.
It is further possible to tick the checkbox
Assign
the IP Address to assign the device with an IP address from
the scale on the top of the page. Otherwise, its original IP address will be used.
In the section
Port numbers
it is possible to redefine the ports IPCorder should use for the communication
with the device. Usually there is no need to alter the default values. You may need to change them only if
the camera’s services run on non-standatd ports or if the device is located in a different network (see Manual
device activation below).
For the devices protected by a password, it is necessary to tick the checkbox labelled
Device is Password
Protected
(for the camera models, which are always password protected is this option already chosen) and
insert the current valid administrator username and password, so that the system can control the device. The
link Fill in default credentials inserts the credentials this model of the device is manufactured with.
It is also possible to generate a new credentials for the subordinate device administrator (tick the
Generate
New Credentials
checkbox). Also in this case, it is still mandatory to insert the original admin login and the
password. The IPCorder will use them to login to the camera, change the passwords to the newly generated
and save the new ones.
The part View account serves for setting up the means IPCorder will use for obtaining data (typically video)
from this device.
•
Free view access
– select this option if the device does not require authetication for view access.
•
Specify credentials
– IPCorder will use an already existing account for view access to the remote device.
•
Generate new cedentials
– IPCorder will create a new view account for the device and use it for view
access.
