You can create IP devices in Intellect as follows:

  1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box (1).
  2. In the object tree select the Camera object corresponding to the configured Server (2).
  3. Click Camera discovery tool on the setting panel of the selected object (3).

    As a result the IP Wizard window is displayed. Found IP devices are displayed on the top of the window.

    Attention!

    Video capture cards can also be displayed in the list. However, it is strongly NOT recommended to add them to configuration from the IP Wizard tool. Configure video capture cards manually as described in Configuring video capture cards in INTELLECT™ software.

    By default, the list also displays found obsolete devices that are no longer supported in the installed version of the Drivers Pack. If such devices should not be displayed, create a registry key UseObsoleteAttribute=1 (see Registry keys reference guide).

    Note

    The IP Wizard window can also be displayed by selecting the Camera discovery tool item in the context menu of the Computer object.



    Click column name to sort devices by value in the column. Data are sorted alphabetically, including IP addresses. For example, when IP addresses are sorted in ascending order, 10.0.12.98 is lower than 10.0.12.252 in the list.

  4. If the required device is not in the list, try clicking Search (1). Wait for the list is updated, as the search can take several seconds.
  5. Check up the vendor (2), model (3) and firmware (4) for found IP device. Make changes if necessary by opening the corresponding drop-down list and selecting required value.
  6. From the drop-down list (5) select settings which should be installed on the IP-device while its adding to the device tree: leave installed device settings or apply video server settings.
  7. Check up the TCP/IP port (8). Specify the required value in the field.
  8. Specify the login (6) and password (7) to connect IP device. Login and password are specified in the documentation for connected network device.

  9. Select the objects that are to be created under IP device.

    Note

    The number of objects that can be created under IP device is displayed automatically in the Hardware available for adding table.


    1. Open the drop-down list of supported IP device by clicking the + button.

      Correspondence of object names in IP Wizard to the branches of object tree is in table.

    Note

    To delete the IP-device from the IP Wizard window right-click the corresponding line in the table and select the Delete camera <IP address> from the list item. To delete the IP-device object or objects created under it from the hardware tree by means of the IP Wizard, set the checkboxes unchecked for corresponding objects and click the Apply button.
