Chapter 2: Cameras
On the Cameras page, you have the option to view all
cameras (default), a selected group of cameras, or a single
camera, depending on your search criteria. The Search
option will narrow down the list of cameras displayed as
you type characters into the Search text field, eliminating
the ones that don’t match your search criteria. The
searchable columns are Name, Host, and MAC Address.
Each camera will be categorized as Managed or
Unmanaged and the number in the upper left corner
indicates how many cameras you have per category. In
this example, there are 29 Managed cameras.
Cameras listed under the Managed tab have been added
to the UniFi Video management system. Cameras listed
under the Unmanaged tab have not been configured or
added to the UniFi Video management system yet, or have
been unmanaged.
To change the status of a camera from Unmanaged to
Managed, follow these steps:
1. Click Unmanaged to see a list of unmanaged cameras.
2. Click a camera to view its details. Refer to
“Configuration” on page 14.
3. Enter the username and password for the selected
camera and click Manage.
Once you’ve finished adding the unmanaged cameras,
click Managed to return to the Managed cameras view.
For each camera, the Managed camera view lists the Name,
Host (address), MAC Address, Last Recording, and Link State.
Click a column heading to sort the list by that column;
click again to reverse the sort order.
