About the Replace Hardware Device wizard
Use the Replace Hardware Device wizard to replace a hardware device that you have previously
added to and configured on your surveillance system. To open the Replace Hardware Device
wizard, right-click the device that you want to replace and select Replace Hardware Device. The
wizard is divided into the New hardware device information page and the database action page.
New hardware device information
Specify details about the new hardware device:
IP Address
The IP address or host name of the hardware device.
Port
The Port number on which to scan. The default is port 80.
If a hardware device is located behind a NAT-enabled router or a
firewall, you may need to specify a different port number. In such
cases, remember to configure the router/firewall so it maps the
port and IP address used by the hardware device.
User Name
The user name for the hardware device's administrator account.
Many organizations use the hardware device manufacturer's
default user names for their hardware devices. If that is the case
in your organization, select "<default>". Do not type a
manufacturer's default user name as this can be a source of
error, trust that your system knows the manufacturer's default
user name.
You can also select other typical user names, such as admin or
root, from the list. Type a new user name if you want a user
name which is not on the list.
Password
The password required to access the administrator account. Some
hardware devices do not require user name/password for access.
Device driver
To specify which device driver to use for the new hardware device, you can:
 Select the video device driver in the Hardware device type list, and then click Auto-
detect/Verify Hardware Device Type to verify that the driver matches the hardware
device.
- or -
 Click Auto-detect/Verify Hardware Device Type to automatically detect and verify the
right driver.
When the right driver is found, the Serial number (MAC address) field displays the MAC address
of the new hardware device. When done, click Next.
Camera and database action
On the last page of the Replace Hardware wizard, decide what to do with the camera and the
database containing recordings from the camera attached to the old hardware device. For multi-
camera devices, such as video encoders, you must decide what to do for each video channel on the
new hardware device.
