3.       Enter the IP Address and the Port number your device is using. Click Next.

4.       Enter the User ID and Password to login to your network device. Click Next.

5.       Assign your new network device a channel for the NVS software. Click Finish.

You will now see your new device in the Device List and you can now view the video in the Live Display screen.

The second way to add a device is using the Device Properties section in the Device Manager window.

1.       From the Live Display click Device Manager.

a.       If the Network Video Device Wizard comes up click the X in the top right corner to close the wizard. If you do not want the wizard to come up in the future check the Do Not Display this Wizard Again checkbox.

To assign you device a channel within NVS complete the below steps;

a.       A second way to assign a device is by clicking in the Device column and using the drop down to select your device and then clicking in the Device Channel to select the channel of the device.
