Camera setup · Digital Watchdog

Connect a Digital Watchdog camera to VISEC.

Digital Watchdog cameras, including the MEGApix range, support ONVIF, so VISEC finds them with a scan once the camera has been given credentials.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

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

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

  1. Sign in to the camera

    Open its address in a browser and sign in as the administrator, setting a password if it is new.

  2. Confirm ONVIF is on

    Look under the network or system settings for the ONVIF service.

  3. Set a standard stream

    H.264 or H.265 at the resolution you want to record.
