Device addition mode

Description

1Add device with default settingsThe IP device is added to the configuration with the default settings (the default settings are determined by C-Werk itself). Adding a device in this mode will change the current settings of the device.

Add device with current settings

The IP device is added to the configuration with the current settings, as specified in the web interface.
3Add device with template settings

The IP device is added to the configuration with the settings that have been previously specified for a device of the same model in the configuration. Select a device of the same model (the "template device") in the list.
Only devices of the same model are shown in the list of search results for choosing the template device.
The following settings will be copied from the template device to the new, similar device: firmware, video stream settings, buffering settings, Other settings (see The Camera object), and Other settings for Microphone and Speaker objects, if these are configured for the template device.
This mode is best when multiple cameras of the same model are in use at a site. If this is the case, we advise to:

  • Add and configure one device.
  • Add the remaining devices, copying settings from the "template device" as described previously.

If an IP device is not shown in the search results (because it is located on another subnet or contact has been temporarily lost), you can add it manually. To do so, in the neutral-colored area above the search results, select the type of IP device that you are adding (with or without edge storage), specify an IP address and port, and select the manufacturer and model.

Then add the device to the configuration  by following the steps described previously.
