Discovering Devices
When connected to a VideoXpert System, you can use VxToolbox to search the connected system for
devices, or you can add devices manually to the VxToolbox list. The device list shows only devices that
have been discovered on the network to which the VideoXpert System is connected.
When not connected to a VideoXpert System (None is selected), you can use VxToolbox to search for
devices that are accessible on the same network as the computer that is running VxToolbox; the device
list shows only locally discovered devices.
Through VxToolbox, you can manage device settings for all the devices on the network, without having to
use individual device interfaces.
VxToolbox can discover Pelco cameras or third-party cameras supporting ONVIF.
Note:To support a third-party fisheye camera that is not already recognized by VideoXpert,
contact Pelco Customer Support.
