Camera setup · Arecont Vision

Connect an Arecont Vision camera to VISEC.

Arecont Vision made its name on megapixel cameras, which is exactly what plate recognition wants - resolution across a wide lane. The range supports ONVIF, and the one thing to plan for is the multi-sensor models, which present each sensor separately.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your Arecont Vision camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.

Getting it connected

If the camera does not appear.

Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.

  1. Find the camera on the network

    Run VISEC's scan, or use the manufacturer's discovery utility to confirm the address.

  2. Open it in a browser and check ONVIF

    Sign in and look under the network or system settings for the ONVIF option. Enable it if it is off.

  3. Note how many streams the camera offers

    A multi-sensor model typically exposes each sensor as its own stream or channel.

  4. Add each stream in VISEC

    Scan to add an ONVIF camera, then add the remaining sensors as their own cameras so all of them record.
