Add a Detected Online Security Control Device

You can add the detected online security control devices, and here we introduce the process for adding single one device.

  • Make sure the security control devices you are going to use are correctly installed and connected to the network as specified by the manufacturers. Such initial configuration is required in order to be able to connect the devices to the system via network.

  • The devices to be added should be activated. Refer to Create Password for Inactive Device(s) for detailed operation about activating devices.

  1. Click Physical View > Security Control Device to enter the Security Control Device Management page.
  2. In the Online Device area, select a network type.
    Server Network

    As the default selection, the detected online devices in the same local subnet with the SYS server will list in the Online Device area.

    Local Network

    The detected online devices in the same local subnet with the current Web Client will list in the Online Device area.

    The password strength of the device can be automatically checked. We highly recommend you change the password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you change your password regularly, especially in the high security system, changing the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

    Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.
