Follow this guide for steps on adding a new device into your Vision system and establishing a connection with your Local Vision Server (LVS).
How to add a new device in Vision
Follow these steps to add a new device in Vision (see Figure 1):
- The Control Panel
is located in the bottom right corner of the starting interface. This is where you'll manage all your devices and settings.
- In the Control Panel menu, click on the Devices tab. This will bring up a list of all your current devices.
- To add a new device, click the
"+" sign located in the bottom right corner.

Once you click the "+", the Add Device window will open. Enter the required information and click Save. When a device is added, a unique location ID is assigned automatically (see Figure 2):

How to generate connection code
After adding a new device in the Control Panel, search for the added device in the Devices tab (Control Panel → Devices). Click on the button "Generate Connection Code" (see Figure 3), copy the code and insert it at the end of the installation process.

IMPORTANT: Connection code expires after two hours due to safety measures. If that’s the case, go back to the location you previously created and generate a new code.
Worker Service
To check the status of your worker services, begin by opening the Vision graphic user interface. From there, navigate to the Control Panel menu. Within the Control Panel, select the Devices tab and double-click on the device you've recently added.
This will lead you to the 'Workers' section. Worker is a service that finds and processes camera streams. To proceed with installation and adding cameras, ensure that the worker service is marked with a green dot next to it.
The number of preview workers you can have is determined by your server specifications. Essentially, the more workers you have, the more cameras you can process per location (see Figure 4).
