General Device is a universal driver that enables AxxonSoft products to work with almost all devices from the relevant manufacturer. General Device drivers are available for Axis, Bosch, Panasonic, and Samsung IP devices.

Most configuration of General Device-connected cameras is performed via the web interface of the device. A detailed list of supported features is given on the Documentation Drivers Pack page.

 Devices connected via General Device drivers are shown in search results as fully supported. The method for adding them to the system is the same as for ordinary devices (see Searching for Unallocated Servers and Hardware).

Note

Axis devices are affected by a special restriction: if the user name and password for device access do not equal the default values,  the number of channels for the device is not discoverable. Therefore, all non-integrated devices whose user name and password for device access do not equal the default values will be shown in search results as 1-channel General Devices.

If a IP device is not displayed in search results, you can add it manually:

  1. Click the  button to add a Camera object.
  2. Select the device manufacturer from the list (1).
  3. In the Model field, select General Device (2). For Axis and Bosch devices, select the number of channels on the device.
  4. Specify device connection settings and click the Apply button.

Addition of the device is now complete.
