Adding a Video Camera
You can use the Video Surveillance page to manually add supported video cameras if they are not
discovered automatically on your StorCenter ix2-dl . The Video Surveillance page also displays the
current settings for any video camera attached to your network. For example, you might have video
cameras on a summer house in one geographic location, while your StorCenter ix2-dl is in another
geographic location.
If your video camera is already listed, you can modify its settings. To manually add a video camera,
reference the instructions below.
Manually Adding a Video Camera
Follow the instructions below to add your video camera, set a retention policy for your saved
recordings, and schedule your video surveillance recordings.
1. On the Video Surveillance page, click Add Video Camera.
2. In the Video Camera Information section, enter the following about your video camera:
Note: If your video camera is automatically discovered, information like Name and
Manufacturer are already filled in for that video camera. These settings can be modified. If
you modify these settings, you must make the same changes to the associated settings on
your camera's configuration page.

HTTP Port: A camera that is automatically discovered will periodically receive
configuration values, including the HTTP port number, from the actual camera. If you
change the HTTP port number on a camera's configuration page, but do not change it
on the Video Surveillance page, that camera will be offline on the Video Surveillance
page until the camera receives the updated value. If you manually add a camera and
change its HTTP port number on the camera's configuration page, the camera displays
as offline on the Video Surveillance page. Delete the camera and add it again, using
the updated HTTP port value.

3. Select a Destination Folder for the video camera recordings. Recorded video files are saved to
this folder, and the StorCenter ix2-dl automatically organizes your saved video recordings into
folders by video camera name. Within each video camera folder are sub-folders that organize
the recordings by date. For example, if you set the destination Share to Media/Videos and the
name of your camera is HomeDoor, a recording made on July 17, 2011, can be found at
Media/Videos/HomeDoor/20110717.
4. Click Camera Configuration to link your video camera's software.
Note: If you want to change the camera resolution and frame rate, you must change them
on your camera's configuration page.
5. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Cancel to discard your unchanged settings.
The video camera displays in the table. For additional setup, refer to the sections on
Policy and Scheduling.
