MiOS can install some IP cameras automatically when it detects them on the network. Usually it's one of the cameras from this list:
- VistaCam
- Panasonic camera
- Foscam camera
- D-Link camera
However, if you have a camera that's not one of the above, or if your camera wasn't automatically installed, you can either add a camera using the Add camera wizard or create the device manually.
Here are the instructions to create a camera device. It is assumed that the camera is connected to the network and configured.
