  Hi @...

  Is you want to do it through the API, you can use the following URL. 

  /api/manualCamera/add

  For the pararmeters, please check the API documentation. 

   

  That being said. 

   

  In general the cameras are auto-discovered by the Nx Witness media server, so no need to manually add them if the cameras are in the same LAN as the server. 

   

  Also, you can add them through a manual search through a range of IP addresses. 
  
  
  

  1. Open Add Device dialog:
     Right-click on the desired server in Resource Tree to open its context menu, or
     Open Main Menu and select Add Device
  2. Select the desired server in the To field.
  3. If the device requires, specify authentication parameters in the Login and Password fields. Once a device is added you can use the Edit Credentials button in Camera Settings > General to change this password.
     
     Some devices may be discovered without specifying credentials, but often it is necessary to specify at least the default login and password.
     
     Other devices may not require credentials for discovery but will require credentials when they are accessed for the first time. In this case, they will be displayed in the Resource Tree, but you will be prompted to enter credentials in order to view streams from these devices.
  4. If needed, specify a discovery Port. The default Auto setting is recommended. Most devices are discovered on port 80.

  5. To add several devices at once, select the Subnet Scan tab:

     Enter the desired Start IP and End IP values. (By default, addresses 0-255 of the same subnet are suggested so that the entire network will be scanned.)

     Press Scan to initiate the search. This can take some time, especially when an IP range is being scanned.

     If devices are located they will be displayed in IP address order, showing the brand, model and IP address. If a device is already registered it will display in the list as Added. Previously added devices may be re-added. If devices are not located, you can click New Scan to return to the Add devices dialog. The total number of devices being added will display in a banner at the top of the window.
