Adding a Maxpro NVR and camera

Assuming you have more than one camera connected to your NVR, this procedure uses a Cameras folder (container) for one or more cameras.

Prerequisites:

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and use a text editor to add the following entry to the host's file (you might need administrator access to make changes to this file): Ip Address and Hostname.
You are working in Workbench connected to a station. The maxpro palette is open.

Drag a MaxproNvr component from the palette to the MaxproNetwork.
Drag a Cameras folder and MaxproCamera from the palette to the MaxproNvr.
To configure the video recorder, double-click the MaxproNvr node in the Nav tree.
The video recorder’s AX Property Sheet opens.
Configure the properties and click Save.
These properties are the most important to configure:
- Host Name: enter the hostname (host name set in the host file) in the IP Address field.
- MaxProNVR.Credentials: Enter the user name and password for MaxProNVR.
NOTE: The default self-signed certificate must be approved to use HTTPS (secure) communication.
Expand Platform > Certificate Management > User Key Store > Allowed Hosts. Select the certificate and click Approve.
Right-click on the MaxproNvr > Action > Ping.
Expand the MaxproNvr, double-click Cameras
The Camera Manager window opens.
To discover the camera click Discover. Add the discovered camera to the database.
The camera starts streaming in the Workbench.
