Discovering cameras

The procedure for discovering cameras using Workbench varies slightly between the nmilestone and xprotect drivers.

Prerequisites: The driver has been installed, your platform and station are open and you are using Workbench.

Depending on the driver, do one of the following:
- For the nmilestone driver, expand Config > Drivers > NMilestoneNetwork > NMilestoneDvr node in the Nav tree and double-click Cameras.
- For the xprotect driver, expand Config > Drivers > MilestoeXProtectNetwork > XProtectManagementServer node in the Nav tree and double-click Cameras.
The Camera Manager view opens.
Click the Discover button at the bottom of the view.
The Discovered and Database panes open.
This view has a standard appearance, with a Discovered pane and a Database pane that is similar to all driver Device Manager views.

The Camera Manager view has Add, New and Edit buttons that are used to add, configure, and monitor device drivers. The discover, add, and edit features are similar to other camera devices.
Select the camera to add and click the Add button.
