Summary

This article provides instructions for adding CGA cameras to OnCloud.

Before starting this process, make sure the CGA has been onboarded.

To scan the CGA’s network to search for cameras to add to OnCloud:

Log in to Cloud Portal.
Navigate to OnCloud > organization dashboard.
Click Devices > Manage.
Filter using the CGA’s location to find your CGA.
Click Scan Network for Device.

The dialog lists all the compatible devices that can be onboarded via the CGA.
Click each camera and authenticate it individually. If the cameras share a common password, check the Save and apply credentials to detected devices checkbox to apply the password automatically.

For each camera, specify a Device Name and select an Area, then click Add And Claim Device.

have different Areas within that Location.
```
After a few moments the screen will show that the device has been Added and Claimed.

The number of added CGA cameras is shown at the bottom of the screen.
