Detail from the
Administrator
window's
Device Manager
section—two
devices have been added; the first device has a single camera
attached, whereas the second device has four cameras attached
To add a device, use the following procedure:
Prerequisites:
You must have configured IP address, password, etc. on the device itself, as described by the
manufacturer.
1. Open
2. In
the
Administrator
window, click the
Add Device...
button. This will start the
Device Setup Wizard
.
3. On the first step of the wizard, identify the required device, either by
•
Typing the IP address of the device.
Tip:
To jump to the next IP address segment in the field,
press SPACE on your keyboard.
- or -
•
Typing the DNS host name of the device. This requires that you select the
Use DNS host names
box
Specifying the IP address of a device
Note:
By default, HTTP port 80 and FTP port 21 will be used for the device. If the device you are adding
uses other port numbers, click the
Port Setup
button and specify required port numbers. The need for
specifying different ports may often apply if the device is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall.
When this is the case, also remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the ports and IP address
used by the device.
When ready, click
Next
to go to the second step of the wizard.
4. If a password is used for the device, type the password for the device's administrator account (called the
“admin” or “root” account on some devices). Leave the
Autodetect Device
option selected, then click
Next.
