Add Security Control Device by Device ID

For the security control devices supporting ISUP, you can add them by specifying a predefined device ID, ISUP login password, etc. This is an economic choice when you need to manage a security control device in the public network but without fixed IP address by HikCentral Professional.

  • Make sure the security control device 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 HikCentral Professional via network.

  4. Select Device ID as the adding mode.
  5. Enter the required information, including device ID, ISUP login password, and device name.
    CAUTION:

    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.
