About automatic device discovery
Automatic device discovery allows you to automatically add hardware devices to your system as soon
as you connect these to your network. When you enable automatic device discovery, your system
configures and set ups cameras automatically without the need for any user interaction, making the
camera instantly accessible in XProtect Smart Client's default view after the automatic installation has
completed.
Note that:

Not all cameras support automatic device discovery.

Cameras respond differently to automatic device discovery. The systems adds some devices
(such as Axis models P3301 and P3304) to the system automatically, while some devices from
other vendors (such as Sony models SNC-EB520, EM520 and E521) you must turn off and
back on again before they are automatically added to your system.

You must still manually activate licenses (see "About activating licenses" on page 31) for your
camera. This is to ensure that you only activate cameras set up in an environment with
multiple servers on one of the servers.
Change default file paths
To change any of the default file paths:
1. If you want to change the configuration path, stop (see "Start and stop services" on page 170)
all services. This step is not necessary if you want to change the default recording or archiving
path.
2. On the Management Application menu bar, select Options > Default File Paths...
3. You can now overwrite the necessary paths. Alternatively, click the browse button next to the
field and browse to the location. For the default recording path, you can only specify a path to
a folder on a local drive. If you are using a network drive, you cannot save recordings if the
network drive becomes unavailable.
If you change the default recording or archiving paths and there are existing recordings at the
old locations, you must select whether you want to move the recordings to the new locations
(recommended), leave them at the old locations, or delete them.
4. Once changes are confirmed, restart (see "Start and stop services" on page 170) all services.
