Applications40Adding CamerasCamera are connected to devices, so first it is necessary toadd the required devices such as network camera ornetwork encoder (IP video server) to the system. Deviceshave their own IP addresses or host names and the systemidentifies the devices based on their IP addresses or hostnames.● Even though each device has its own IP address or hostname, when connecting several analog cameras to anetwork encoder (IP video server), several cameras canbe attached to a single device and thus share the sameIP address or host name. In this case, several camerasare attached to a single device, but they can beconfigured and used individually with this equipment.● In addition to network camera and network encoder (IPvideo server), it is possible to add a number of dedicatedI/O (input/output) devices. When such I/O devices areadded, they can be used in events-based system setup inthe same way as a camera.● When a device is added to the system, it is listed in the[Camera Record Setting] window. To add a device, followthe procedure below. First, configure the IP address andpassword of the device itself as described in the cameramanuals.● If user access is restricted, another camera cannot beadded.
