Adding cameras to a Genetec Cloudlink appliance manually

If automatic discovery doesn’t work or isn’t available, you must add cameras to a Genetec Cloudlink™ appliance manually in Security Center SaaS.

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.
4. On the Activation page, click Add a local camera manually.
5. On the Configuration page, enter the required information.
   1. Enable Read-only mode if needed. For more information, see About read-only cameras.
   2. Select a pre-existing recording profile or add a new one.
   For devices connected to an appliance and configured for cloud recording, data is stored locally on the appliance first, then uploaded to the cloud. If the connection between the appliance and the cloud is interrupted, local storage continues and syncs when connectivity is restored.

   CAUTION:

   Data loss might occur if data accumulated during the outage exceeds available local storage capacity.
6. Click Continue, then click Close.
