Connect an EmpireTech camera to VISEC.
EmpireTech cameras, sometimes sold as Loryta, are built on Dahua platforms, which is genuinely useful to know: they behave the same way and the same documentation applies. Expect to activate the camera first, and expect ONVIF to want its own user account rather than the admin login.
Press scan.
VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your EmpireTech camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.
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.
-
Activate the camera
A new camera has to be given a password before it will accept any connection. Do this in its web page or with the manufacturer's config tool.
-
Check ONVIF is enabled
On Dahua-based firmware this is usually under the network settings. Make sure it is on.
-
Add an ONVIF user
This is the step almost everyone misses. Add a user specifically for ONVIF and note the details - the admin account alone may not authenticate.
-
Scan from VISEC
Press scan, pick the camera and sign in with the ONVIF user.
