Add Detected Online Security Control Devices in a Batch

For the detected online security control devices, if they have the same password for the same user name, you can add multiple devices at a time.

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.

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.
