Adding individual devices

  1. Select a camera.
  2. Change the settings (manufacturer, type, and DeviceManager) if necessary. Rename the camera or change user name and password. (Do not use commas or special characters in camera names).
  3. Click the Add icon in the camera row or click the Add and Configure icon. After clicking on the Add and configure icon, the configuration settings for this device are displayed.
  4. Configure the camera (see Cameras).

  5. If Validate settings before device creation is checked, the Username, Password, Manufacturer and driver class will be validated for accuracy. Uncheck this box to add the camera without this validation text. This is useful when remotely setting up a system prior to being physically located at the system.

    Note: do not use special characters in camera names. This will cause erratic behavior with Ocularis. Rule of thumb: use the same characters supported by Microsoft Windows file names.
