The other way to remove a site is to right click on the site, and select <Remove> from the pull-down
menu.
A new site can either be a DVR or an IP Camera, and the number of sites equals to the number of the
DVRs and IP Cameras. The following sections will show how to setup configuration of the sites.
6.2.2 Setup the Site via Device Search
There are two ways to setup a site. The simple way is via Device Search.
The HCMS is able to search for the IP address of the DVR(s) or IP Camera(s) connected to the LAN.
The ports used for device search are 6666 and 6667. Please make sure that these two ports are not
in-use nor blocked by firewall or virus scan software.
Follow steps below to search for DVR(s) or IP Camera(s):
Step 1 : If there is a LAN network, the HCMS can
search the LAN network for IP address of available
DVR(s) and IP Camera(s). Click the Search button
(on the bottom right) to open the Search window.
Step 2 : Click <Refresh> to find the IP address of
DVR(s) or IP Camera(s) available in the LAN
network. Select from the list and Double click on
the IP address to add it to a site. Then enter the
username and password of the site.
NOTE: The Device Search function can only be used to search for addresses within the same
LAN. For example, if the local computer uses an IP address of 192.168.1.5, and a connected
DVR has an IP address of 192.168.1.7, the HCMS will be able to find the IP address of the
DVR. However, if there is another DVR connected to another LAN network such as
192.168.3.6, the HCMS (whose IP is 192.168.1.5) will not be able to find the IP address of the
DVR in another LAN network.
