Deleting Individual Hardware
IMPORTANT:
When deleting a hardware device, all its recordings are deleted permanently.
1. In the overview pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), expand the required recording server, right-click
the no longer needed hardware device.
2. From the menu that appears, select
Delete IP Hardware.
Tip:
As an alternative, press DELETE on your keyboard.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the hardware device.
4. The hardware device is removed from the recording server's listings in the Management Client.
Tip:
If you ever need to add the hardware device to a recording server again, select the required recording server and
use the
Add Hardware
(see "
Add Hardware (Cameras, etc.)
" on page 49) wizard.
Replacing Hardware
When you replace a physical camera (hardware device) on your network with another hardware device, you must
know the IP address, port, user name and password of the new hardware device.
Furthermore, when replacing hardware devices, note that your system might be affected by license limitations (see
"Manage Licenses" on page 45). Using the
Activate Online
(see "
Activate Licenses
" on page 43)wizard, you must
reactivate your licenses
after
replacing hardware devices. Also note, that if the new number of cameras,
microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. exceeds the old number of cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. you might
also have to buy new licenses (see "Manage Licenses" on page 45). See your License Information (see "Manage
Licenses" on page 45).
1. In the Overview pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), expand the required recording server, right-click
the hardware device you wish to replace.
2. From the menu that appears, select
Replace Hardware.
3. The
Replace Hardware
wizard appears. Click
Next
.
4. In the wizard, in the
Address
field (marked by red arrow in the image), enter the IP address of the new
hardware. If known, select relevant hardware device driver from the
Hardware Driver
drop-down list (marked
by red arrow in the image). Otherwise select
Auto Detect
. If port, user name or/and password data is different
for the new device, also correct this
before starting the auto detect process (if needed)
.
Tip:
The wizard is pre-filled with data from the existing hardware device. If you replace it with a similar
hardware device, you can reuse some of this data - for example, port and driver information.
5. Do one of the following:
o
If you selected the required hardware device driver directly from the list, click
Next
.
o
If you selected
Auto Detect
in the list, click
Auto Detect
, wait for this process to be successful, click
Next
.
This step is designed to help you map devices and their databases, depending on the number of individual
cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc., attached to the old hardware device and the new respectively.
It is important to consider
how
to map databases from the old hardware device to databases of the new
hardware device. You do the actual mapping of individual cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. by
selecting a corresponding camera, microphone, input, output or
None
in the right-side column.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to map
all
cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. Contents stored in
databases belonging to cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, etc. mapped to
None
, will be
lost
.
