3.10.6 Devices
This section is aimed to add and remove devices, and change local device settings. These settings are stored on
the NHServer database and are used by NHServer to manage the devices. On the other hand, the settings shown
in Remote configuration (see the next section) are stored on each device and are used by each device for
internal purposes.
3.10.6.1 Getting and releasing control
Nethunter architecture allows multiple clients connections to a common server. All configured devices are
stored and managed by this common server shared between all the different clients.
In order to avoid possible system inconsistence due to devices modification, it’s necessary to get the full control
of the system by pressing the “Get control” button.
This action will disable any client operation until the control is “released” again. Currently-connected clients will
be notified of the administration “lock”.
After releasing the control, all the clients will be able to work as usual.
3.10.6.2 Adding new devices
Choose a device location on the explorer tree and press the “New” button. A list of available devices will appear.
Select the desired device and press the “Create new device” button. Fill all the required fields (IP Address, name,
camera names, etc.).
It’s necessary that the device is connectable at the moment of adding it. Otherwise it won’t be possible to add it.
Ensure that your network configuration allows you to access all the devices at the specified ports.
After a device is set up, you can change or configure its internal parameters and device options through the
Remote Configuration option tab. To know each device parameters, please check its user or setup guide.
For Nethunter NVVR (IP recorder) configuration, please check at the next chapter.
There is a complete dedicated chapter that describes all the creation process and parameters.
