Adding Cameras to Your System
Tip: Have you previously used a web page to connect to a camera on your network? While
you did this, were you also able to configure the cameras’ settings (such as resolution, etc.)? If
you can answer yes to both questions, you were in all likelihood using the device’s
administrator account, in which case you will also know the password.
Wizard Helps You Quickly Add Cameras
When you are ready, do the following to add devices to your XProtect Basis+ trial system:
Open XProtect Basis+’s Administrator application, either from Windows’ Start menu or by
double-clicking the Administrator shortcut on your desktop.
In the Administrator application, click the Add Device… button.
Type the device’s IP address, or select the Use DNS host names check box and type the
device’s host name.
Tip: If a device is located behind a NAT-enabled
router or a firewall (ask your network administrator
if in doubt), the port number to use can be changed
by clicking the Port Setup button Remember to
configure the router/firewall to map these ports to
the ports and IP address used by the device.
When ready, click Next.
Type the password for the device’s administrator account (sometimes known as the root
account). Leave the Autodetect Device option selected, and click Next.
When the device is detected, note that the Device License Key (DLK) field is gray; this is
always the case for trial versions since no DLK is needed in trial versions. Now click Next.
Specify a descriptive name for the device, then click Finish.
The device is now installed successfully.
Repeat for other required devices.
Tip: In the Administrator application’s Device Manager section (the white area in the middle of
the window), added cameras are listed for each device with default names, such as Camera 1, etc.
If you want to change the name of a camera, click the plus sign next to the required device, right-
click the camera name in question, then select Edit from the menu that appears.
