Adding Cameras to the Security System
The Touchscreen supports up to six cameras with a Touchscreen. A camera is added to the
security system by using an Ethernet cable to connect it to the security router. After the
camera has been added to the security system, remove the cable, and place the camera in
the desired location. If the customer's home requires a Wi-Fi repeater, the camera must be
connected to the router first, and then moved to the desired location on the far side of the
repeater.
See “Managing Wi-Fi Repeaters” on page 155 for more information about Wi-Fi
repeaters.
This action can be performed after wireless sensors are installed, as described under
“Adding Sensors to the Security System” on page 33. You can skip this step and add panel
interf
aces later as described under “Adding a Camera to the Security System” on page 115.
Note:
Camera images are only accessible to the Touchscreen device and, for one of the
cameras, to the Subscriber Portal. Service Provider tools cannot access these images. To
update the firmware on any camera before adding it to the security system, reset the camera
to factory defaults before adding it to the OpenHome Converge system, so it can receive the
necessary changes to communicate with the Touchscreen.
