5 Searching and Accessing the Camera with
Device Search
Device Search provides a central location for listing all the DVTel CM and CF camera models
accessible over the network. Once listed, you can right-click on each camera to access and
change the network settings.
Once the network settings are changed, you can search again to relist the units and then
configure the units via the web interface.
If you are working with DVTel Latitude, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than
with DHCP. This ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and
interfere with configurations and communication.
You will need to make the camera accessible for your network addressing. For initial access
to the camera, you can do either of the following to search and configure the camera’s
network settings via Device Search:
 If you have the AdminCenter in Latitude, you can access the Device Configuration
Tool (Unified Configurator) from the Applications menu and then click the DVTel
HD Series button.
 You can run DeviceSearch.exe, which can be found in the “DeviceSearch” folder
in the supplied CD.
To install DVTel Web Player software online:
For the initial access to the camera, a client program (DVTel Web Player) prompts to install
on your PC when connecting to the camera. If the web browser doesn’t allow DVTel Web
Player installation, check the Internet security settings or ActiveX controls and plug-in
settings to continue the process. See Appendix B: Internet Security Settings.
Important: Users who have previously installed the DVTel Web Player (DC Viewer) on the
PC should first delete the existing DC Viewer from the PC before accessing the camera. For
information on how to uninstall and clear Temporary Internet Files, see Deleting the Existing
DC Viewer.
To configure the communication settings of the CM-3211-xx camera:
1.) Connect the camera to the network on the same VLAN/LAN as the workstation.
You can use a cross-cable to directly connect it to the machine.
2.) If your network supports the default, open the DeviceSearch by doing one of the
following:
a.) If you have the AdminCenter in Latitude, you can access the Device
Configuration Tool (Unified Configurator) from the Applications menu and then
click the DVTel HD Series button.
b.) Run the DeviceSearch.exe which can be found in the “DeviceSearch” folder in
the supplied CD.
3.) In the Device Search application, click the “Device Search” button.
