6.4 – Multi-Device Settings
The embedded camera software is able to support a maximum of 9 cameras simultaneously on the same
screen. As long as the camera is of MJPEG compression, you will be able to add it as an additional
camera and view its video using the multi-camera panes on the Live Video page.
On the Multi-Device Settings page you will be able to see all the cameras currently present on your LAN
(Local Area Network), meaning any cameras connected directly to the same router will be seen in this list.
The 1
st
Device on this page is referring to the camera you are currently logged into. If you would like to
add a second camera, click the 2
nd
Device and a list will expand, showing the Alias, Host, HTTP Port,
and User/Password fields. If you want to add a camera from your LAN, click on a camera from the list,
and it will automatically populate the Alias, Host, and HTTP Port fields. You will need to add the
Username and Password individually. You can add up to 9 cameras this way.
Once you finish adding a camera, click “Add.” You can then proceed to add additional cameras until you
are finished. Once you have added all cameras, click the “Submit” button to save settings.
Note that you will only be able to see the added cameras on your local network, if you try to access your
cameras remotely, you will not be able to see them unless you change the Local IP addresses to External
IP addresses (this is explained further in the Quick Installation Guide). If you would like to see the
cameras remotely, instead of putting the LAN IP address of the camera, you will need to change this to
your External IP address (which can be found at www.whatismyipaddress.com) or your DNS hostname if
you are using a DNS service (make sure to exclude http:// from the hostname).
