Add and Edit Devices

Add a Camera

There are two types of cameras that can be added to the XV Gateway:

• Auto-Discovered Cameras: The cameras are automatically discovered if they exist on the same subnet as the XV Gateway.

• Manually Added Cameras: The cameras are outside of the XV Gateway subnet and can be manually added with the camera’s IP Address or RTSP stream.

Refer to the sections below for details on how to add both types of cameras to an XV Gateway.

Auto-Discovered Cameras

1. In the XV Camera with AlarmVision® section, select + Device to XV Gateway to add a camera to an XV Gateway.

2. If not already on, toggle Auto Discover Devices ON. Cameras that already exist on the same subnet as the XV Gateway automatically display in the camera list.

3. Select Enable to add the camera to the XV Gateway.

4. You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the information, then select Send.

5. The camera view displays a preview of the field of view. Select Close

Manually Added Cameras

1. Cameras that are not connected to the same subnet as the XV Gateway need to be manually added. To manually add a camera, toggle Auto Discover Devices off or select Add Manually.

2. Select ONVIF or RSTP Stream from the drop-down menu and enter the corresponding information. Then, select Add.

3. You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the information, then select Send.

4. Once you have added the camera to the XV Gateway, select Close.

For optimal performance, DMP recommends that the total resolution of the added cameras not exceed the XV Gateway model limit (ex. XV-24 should not exceed 24 MP). All cameras should have a frame rate of 15 FPS or less and a codec:H.264. Performance may vary based on number of cameras, framerate, codec, and motion detection.

Add a Camera as an Audio Device

A camera can be added as both a camera and as an audio device in Dealer Admin to allow access to the camera’s internal microphone and speaker. Refer to the sections below for details on how to add a camera as an audio device.

Add a New Camera as an Audio Device

A camera will first need to be associated with the XV to add it as an audio device. To add a camera as a new camera and new audio device at the same time, complete the steps below:

1. In the XV Camera with AlarmVision® section, select + Device to XV Gateway.

2. If not already on, toggle Auto Discover Devices ON. Cameras that already exist on the same subnet as the XV Gateway automatically display in the Camera and Audio Device lists.

3. Locate the camera you want to add in Cameras. Select Enable to add the camera to the XV Gateway.

4. You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the information, then select Send.

5. Locate the same camera in Audio Devices. Select More. Select Add as Audio Device to add the camera as both device types.

6. You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the information, then select Send.

7. Select Close.

Add an Existing Camera as an Audio Device

If a camera is already associated with the XV Gateway, but also needs to be added as an audio device, follow the steps below:

1. In the XV Camera with AlarmVision® section, select + Device to XV Gateway.

2. If not already on, toggle Auto Discover Devices ON. Cameras that already exist on the same subnet as the XV Gateway automatically display in the Camera and Audio Device lists.

2. Enter a name and description for the camera.

3. Select Camera Details in the top right corner to view the following camera information:

   • Camera Status

   • Camera Name

   • Camera Description

   • MAC Address

   • IP Address

   • Resolution

   • Username

5. Select Save in the top right corner to apply any edits to the camera.

Regions & Analytics Settings

If your camera has Regions & Analytics settings, you can add up to four regions and four lines. Regions and lines allow your camera to detect motion. If your camera does not have at least one region or line set up, it will not detect motion. You can also add analytics to your camera.

Regions are sections of an area where cameras detect motion. Motion that occurs outside a region is not detected. For example, a region covering the doorway to a room only detects motion in the doorway.

Lines are sections of a room where motion has to cross for the camera to detect motion. For example, a line at the doorway detects motion if someone crosses the line at the doorway.

Analytics allow your camera to detect people, detect animals, and detect vehicles. When analytics are enabled, your camera records a 30-second clip on motion. The clip is stored in Events with information about what was detected, when, and where.

Create a Region

1. On the Edit Camera page, scroll down to Regions & Analytics and select + Region. A box appears in the middle of the camera view screen.

2. Select and drag the box on the camera’s field of view to define the desired detection region. The white circles on the corners can be used to manipulate the region by clicking and dragging them. You may also select anywhere on a line and a white circle appears that allows the manipulation of the detection region.

3. Give the region a Name.

4. In the drop-down menu, select one of the following directions you want to monitor if a person, animal, or vehicle moves in a direction that is a part of a programmed region:

   • Enter—Motion has to cross into the detected region, following the arrows pointing inward.

   • Exit—Motion has to cross out of the detected region, following the arrows pointing outward.

   • Bi-Directional—Motion can cross the box in any direction.

5. Select whether you want the region to detect People, Animals, Vehicles, or any combination of the three.

6. Select whether you want the region to detect Loitering for people or vehicles and enter a value into the supported time fields to dictate the amount of time required before the loitering alert is triggered.

7. Select Display Regions if you want the configured detection regions to show up on event previews in Virtual Keypad.

8. To add additional regions, repeat steps 1-6. Select Save to apply changes and exit the Edit Camera page. This saves the detection regions and any camera adjustments made previously.

Create a Line

1. In Regions & Analytics, select + Line Cross. A line appears in the middle of the camera view screen. Select and drag the line on the camera’s field of view to define the desired detection line. Then, give the line a name.

2. In the drop-down menu, select one of the following directions you want to monitor if a person, animal, or vehicle moves in a direction that is a part of a programmed region:

   • Enter—Motion has to cross the line in the direction of the arrow.

   • Exit—Motion has to cross the line in the direction of the arrow.

   • Bi-directional—Motion can cross the line in either direction.

3. Select Display Regions if you want the configured detection lines to show up on event previews in Virtual Keypad.

4. To add additional line crosses, repeat steps 1-3. Select Save to apply changes and exit the Edit Camera page. This saves the line crosses and any camera adjustments made previously.

5. To configure end user settings, refer to Virtual Keypad Setup for more information.

Create a Camera Alarm Zone for Regions and Lines

1. To tie a detection region or line to a panel zone, select + Add Alarm Zone. This expands into customizable zone options.

5. Give the zone a Name.

3. The zone number automatically populates with the next available zone number in panel. You may assign a different zone number, if desired. Usable zones are 500-999 for XR Series Control Panels and 500-599 for XT75 Control Panels.

4. Assign the zone to an Area by selecting the drop-down menu.

5. To add additional detection regions, repeat steps 1-4. Select Save to apply changes and exit the Edit Camera page. This saves the detection regions and any zones tied to them, as well as any camera adjustments made previously.
