2026-07-28Last updated

To add cameras on the local network, you can use automatic discovery on a Genetec Cloudlink appliance.

Procedure

  1. From the Devices page in the Configuration task, click Add device.
  2. On the Type page, click Camera.
  3. On the Method page, click Genetec Cloudlink.
    The system searches for cameras automatically. A list shows discovered cameras that aren’t in the system.
  4. On the Activation page, select the required cameras and click Select.
    Important:
    Automatic discovery might detect cameras that aren’t officially supported in Security Center SaaS.

    If the list contains many cameras, you can search by camera name or IP address.

    If a camera is not discovered, add the camera manually.

  5. On the Configuration page, enter the required information, including the device name, credentials, and any required recording settings.
  6. Select an existing recording profile or add a new one.
  7. Click Continue, then click Close.
