Auto-provisioning
Auto provisioning is the procedure of automatically adding and configuring a camera. Auto provisioning involves the automatic creation of a location, entity, and camera profile, reserving an IP address for the camera using a DHCP server, and receiving and transmitting camera streams to the Mediaserver. The stages of auto provisioning can be tracked through the VMS administrator interface (see «Provisioning»).
A mandatory requirement for applying auto provisioning is the use of the customer addressing system (CAS) or similar systems.
For more information about auto provisioning, refer to the «Auto-Provisioning Algorithm and Methods».
There are also additional options for adding cameras and video streams:
Manually adding video streams during automatic camera addition (see «Automatic camera addition and manual video stream setup»)
Manually adding a camera and video streams (see «Manual camera and video stream addition»)
