3. Choose one of the following:
To add a single Camera, enter camera's Address (IP or Host Name the Camera can be resolved on)
IMPORTANT.DW Spectrum allows adding Cameras by IP Address, Host Name or Generic RTSP Link
(advanced). Generic RTSP Link can be used if Camera does not support Onvif, though uses RTSP for
streaming and its RTSP URL is known (i.e. rtsp://<camera IP>:554/hi_stream).
To add several Cameras at once, select Subnet Scan:
4. Enter the desired IP range to start scanning. By default, addresses 0-255 of the same subnet are
suggested. As a result, the entire specified network will get scanned for Cameras.
6. Specify authentication parameters in Login and Password fields (if needed).
7. Specify Discovery Port if needed. Most Cameras are discovered on port 80, so it is better to leave on
Auto setting.
8. Press Scan to initiate search. This can take a lengthy period of time (especially if IP Range is being
scanned).
