Camera setup · Milesight

Connect a Milesight camera to VISEC.

Milesight IP cameras are ONVIF conformant and are usually found by a scan straight away. Many models include alarm input and output terminals, so they suit gate and barrier work.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

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

If the scan does not find it

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

  1. Activate the camera

    A new Milesight camera must be activated with a password before it will accept connections.

  2. Confirm ONVIF is enabled

    Look in the network or system settings for the ONVIF service and check it is switched on.

  3. Check the user's rights

    Milesight separates account levels; the account VISEC uses needs permission to view the stream.

  4. Scan from VISEC

    Press scan, pick the camera and enter its user name and password.
