You can add IP devices to the system using the IP Device Discovery Wizard. To open the IP Device Discovery Wizard, click the Add device link at the end of the Server server device list.

The IP Device Discovery Wizard interface includes:

  1. Automatic device search.
  2. Manual entry of device data.
  3. Adding devices to the configuration.
  4. Bulk adding devices using .CSV files (see Bulk creation of IP devices).

Automatic search for IP devices

...


To stop device search at any time, click the Stop button.

The search results are color-coded based marked by different colors depending on the status of the found device.

  • Since multicast packets are used for device search, the search results may not contain the Servers servers and devices from other subnetsthat are in another subnet.
  • If you click the IP address, you will jump to the device web interface.
  • You can search for devices in the domain regardless of through which server the client is connected.

Manual input of device data

If an the IP device is not shown absent in the automatic search results (because it is located on a different subnet or the connection with it is temporarily lost), you can add it manually. To do this, you need to select the type of the added IP device to be added, specify the IP address and connection port of the device, and select the vendor and model in the area with a neutral background located under the list with automatic search results.

You can also specify the vendor and model of the device by using the search in the input field.

If the device's IP address, Port, Vendor, Username and Password are set for a device, the device model can be automatically detected by clicking the Image Removed Image Added button.

Adding devices to the configuration

To add an The algorithm of adding the IP device to a the configuration is the following:

  • select a mode for adding the a device to the configuration;
  • specify the device settings, if necessary;
  • the add a device is added to the configuration.

Modes for adding devices to the configuration

Three modes are available for There are three modes of adding a device to a the configuration. These are described Their description is given in the following table.

Device addition mode

Description

1

Keep current settings

The IP device is added to the configuration with the current settings , as that are specified in the web interface
2Start with default settings

The IP device is added to the configuration with the default settings (the default settings that are determined by as default in Axxon One). Adding When you add a device in this mode, it changes the current device settings of the device specified in the web interface

3Start with parameters

The IP device is added to the configuration with the settings that have been previously specified for a device of the same model in the configuration. Select a device of the same model (the "The template device ") in from the corresponding list is selected.
Only devices of the same model are shown in the list of search results
for choosing the template devicewhen you select a template.
Parameters that will be set according to the template device: firmware, video stream settings, buffering settings, the Other settings (see
 Camera), and the Other settings for Microphone and Speaker objects, if these are configured for the template device.
This mode is best suited when multiple cameras of the same model are used at a site. If In this is the case, we advise tothe algorithm of adding a device to the configuration is the following:

  • add and configure one device
  • .
  • ;
  • add
  • the remaining devices, copying settings from the "template device" as described previously
  • other devices according to the template of the first one

Configuring IP device settings

When adding you add a device to the configurations, you can immediately set several configuration optionsparameters, such as:

  • vendor and model.,

  • login and connection password.,
  • ID and object name.,

Adding devices

During a single configuration changeone operation, you can add a single one device or all devices listed in from the search results (other than devices for which compatibility is not to the configuration (except those for which operation isn't guaranteed). To add one device, click the Image Removed Image Added button. To add all devices, click the Add all button.

If Keep in mind that when you add all IP devices at the same time, the same addition mode and settings will be applied to used for all of them.

To remove a device from the search results, click the Image Removed Image Added button.
