At the camera configuration page you will see detected devices automatically displayed as
shown below.
In this example 3 Sony cameras were connected and one Bosch camera. The Bosch camera
was connected automatically, however the Sony cameras were detected but connection has
timed out so a red dot is shown in the status information. The devices reporting RED status
must be modified to add the correct information. Additional cameras can be added later using
the Device search box.
Click on the Modify icon for each of these in turn and edit the login information, change the user
name and password to match the camera settings.
(default is user name: admin password: admin)
IMPORTANT: We strongly
recommend using a strong password
rather than the default, when the
system is in normal use.
NOTE: Automatic connection of Bosch
cameras depends on the firmware
version in the camera and the DIVAR
unit.

DIVAR APP - Configuring Streaming on Sony Cameras:
When the DIVAR APP is used with the DIVAR network recorder, a second, lower bit rate stream
is used for the APP viewer.
In Sony cameras, only one stream is enabled by default so to use the APP a second stream
must be enabled; follow the process below:
- In the camera’s setup menu, select Video/Audio and Video Codec.
- Enable Image 2 as shown below. Then press OK. The stream should then be available
in the DIVAR APP.
