Are you looking to expand your network by adding a new location and connecting it to your Local Vision Server? This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

How to Add a New Location

Adding a new location is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started (see Figure 1):

Step 1: Open Control Panel

Start by opening the Control Paneltune_FILL0_wght300_GRAD0_opsz20.png, which you can find in the bottom right corner of the starting interface.

Step 2: Access the Locations Tab

Next, in the Control Panel menu, click on the Locations tab located in the navigation bar.

Step 3: Add a New Location

To add a new location, click the "+" sign baseline_add_circle_outline_black_18dp.png located in the bottom right corner.

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

Connection Code

After creating a new location in the Control Paneltune_FILL0_wght300_GRAD0_opsz20.png, search for the created location in the Locations tab (Control Panel → Locations).
Find the "Connection 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 Locations tab and double-click on the location 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).
