Adding and Managing Cameras

The Camera Configuration screen is an important part of the Orchid Core VMS setup process. This screen provides a list of all of the registered cameras (in alphabetical order by camera name) and a preview of each video stream. It is also the starting point for adding cameras, editing camera settings, and deleting cameras.

1. To access the Camera Configuration screen for Orchid Core VMS, open the System Menu in the top-right corner of the screen, then select Camera Configuration.

*An Administrator is the only role with the ability to add and manage cameras.

The Camera Configuration screen will open with a list of cameras that have already been registered, if any. The process for adding most cameras is typically pretty simple, especially if the camera supports ONVIF auto-discovery.
