If you are adding systems that are located on the same network as the computer, click on
Auto Add. Smart PSS will then search the network for any NVRs, NVRs or IP cameras that
are connected. Those that are found will be added to the list of systems that are available to
be added to Smart PSS. Select which systems to add using the check box to the left of that
device’s name.
Once you’ve selected the desired systems, click on Add to allow Smart PSS to manage it. If
you do not see a specific system, click Refresh to search the network again.
For systems that are not connected to the same network as the computer you are running
Smart PSS on, you must use the Manual Add button.
You’ll need to manually add the information
needed for the program to connect to the
item.
Title - Name the device to make it easy to
identify from the other systems you
may be controlling.
Group Name - Enter the name of an
established group. Or, if you’ve not
created one yet, enter the group
name and make sure that the Create
Group box at the bottom of the
window has been checked.
Type - Select whether the device is a NVR,
NVR or IP Camera (IPC).
IP/Domain Name - This should be the
public (Internet) address that you
obtained when setting up your NVR
(see Confirming That Ports are

Opened in Section 1.2 of this manual). It may also be the Dynamic Domain Name
Service (DDNS) address you created in Section 1.6.
Regardless of which you choose, you will not be able to connect to the NVR using
its local network address because your computer and system are not on the same
network.
Port - The default for your device will be 37777, but if you’ve changed it during setup, then
you will need to enter the correct number in this field.
User Name & Password - Enter the User Name and Password that you use to log into your
system.
Get Info - Click on this to have Smart PSS query the device. Device Model and Serial
Number are read-only, but they and the other fields will be auto-filled.
