Adding Devices

In XProtect Basis+ you add devices (IP video camera devices

or IP video encoder devices) rather than actual cameras. This

is because devices have their own IP addresses or host names.
Being IP-based, XProtect Basis+ primarily identifies units on

the surveillance system based on their IP addresses or host

names.

Even though each device has its own IP address or host name,

several cameras can be attached to a single device and thus

share the same IP address or host name. This is typically the

case with cameras attached to video encoder devices. You can
of course configure and use each camera individually, even

when several cameras are attached to a single device.

Before adding a device, make sure you have configured the IP
address, password, etc. for the device as described by the

manufacturer. When ready, do the following to add the device:

1. In the Administrator application, click the Add Device…

button.

2. Type the device’s IP address, or select the Use DNS

host names check box and type the device’s host

name.
