How Do I Add a Camera on the Video Surveillance Subsystem?

Procedure

• Adding a camera on the VCN

  1. Log in to the VCN IVS client as the Admin user.
     

     • The default User name is Admin, and Password is Change_Me. When a user logs in to the VCN IVS client for the first time, a password change dialog box is displayed, requiring the user to change the password.
     • Set Server IP address to the IP address of the VCN.
     • The default value of Port is 9900. The default value is recommended.

  2. In the Quick Setup area, double-click Add Camera.
  3. Set search criteria.
     1. Set the value of the Drive.
        

        • The default Drive is ONVIF. If an IPC6325 camera is added, select HWSKD for Drive.
        • If there are multiple VCNs, set Access server to the VCN which the camera needs to be connected.
     2. Click at the lower left corner, and enter Start IP Addresses and End IP Addresses for the camera, then click Next.

        Set Start IP Addresses and End IP Addresses to an appropriate IP address range. If the range is too large, the search process may take a long time.

        

        In the scenario where smart ETH gateways are networked, the camera has an internal IP address and an external IP address, ECC800-Pro searches for the internal IP address of camera.

     2. In the Verify area, enter user name and password of a camera, click Verify.

        If the verification succeeds, the camera icon color changes to green.
