Hardware (explained)
Hardware represents either:
• The physical unit that connects directly to the recording server of the surveillance system via IP,
for example a camera, a video encoder, an I/O module
• A recording server on a remote site in a Siveillance Video Interconnect setup
For more information about how to add hardware to your system, see Add hardware on page 167.
Add hardware
You have several options for adding hardware to each recording server in your system.
If your hardware is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a firewall, you may need to specify a
different port number and configure the router/firewall so it maps the port and IP addresses that the
hardware uses.
The Add Hardware wizard helps you detect hardware like cameras and video encoders on your
network and add them to the recording servers on your system. The wizard also helps you add remote
recording servers for Siveillance Video Interconnect setups. Only add hardware to one recording
server at a time.
1. To access Add Hardware, right-click the required recording server and select Add Hardware.
2. Select one of the wizard options (see below) and follow the instruction on the screen.
3. After installation, you can see the hardware and its devices in the Overview pane.
