Camera Installer
Camera Installer allows to find all CBC cameras that are present on the local area network, assign IP
addresses to detected cameras and to verify that the cameras are accessible and operational. Camera
Installer saves information about installed cameras into an .ini file used by CBC Video System. Camera
Installer supports two modes of operation – Basic and Advanced.
• Basic Mode – In this mode Camera Installer detects all CBC cameras that can be reached by
the broadcast request and automatically assigns IP addresses to the cameras, selecting those
addresses that belong to the same sub-network as the computer running Camera Installer and
that are not assigned to other devices. To detect and install the cameras automatically the user
should simply press Automatic button in the Basic mode. The installer will find, configure
and verify the operability of the cameras and will report installation results as shown below.
Once the installation is completed the user should press Save/Exit button to save the
installation information in the MPS .ini file
