right-click the device that you want to replace and select Replace Hardware Device. The wizard is
divided into the New hardware device information page and the database action page.
New hardware device information
Specify details about the new hardware device:
Name Description
IP Address IP address or host name of the hardware device.
Port
Port number on which to scan. The default is port 80. If a hardware
device is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you
may need to specify a different port number. When this is the case,
also remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the port
and IP address used by the hardware device.
User Name
User name for the hardware device's administrator account. Many
organizations use the hardware device manufacturer's default user
names for their hardware devices. If that is the case in your
organization, select (do not type a manufacturer's default
user name as this can be a source of error
—trust that your system
knows the manufacturer's default user name).
You can also select other typical user names, such as admin or
root, from the list. Type a new user name if you want a user name
which is not on the list.
Password
Password required to access the administrator account. Some
hardware devices do not require user name/password for access.
To specify which device driver to use for the new hardware device, you can:

Select the video device driver in the Hardware device type list, and then click Auto-
detect/Verify Hardware Device Type to verify that the driver matches the hardware device.
- or -

Click Auto-detect/Verify Hardware Device Type to automatically detect and verify the right
driver.
When the right driver is found, the Serial number (MAC address) field displays the MAC address of
the new hardware device. When done, click Next.
Camera and database action
On the last page of the Replace Hardware wizard, decide what to do with the camera and the
database containing recordings from the camera attached to the old hardware device. For multi-
camera devices, such as video encoders, you must decide what to do for each video channel on the
new hardware device.
The table in the left side of the wizard page lists available video channels on the new hardware device.
For a regular single-camera hardware device, there are only one video channel. For video encoders,
there are typically several video channels.
1. For each video channel, use the table's Inherit column to select which camera from the old
hardware device should be inherited by the new hardware device.
