All cameras can be imported into Sureview automatically using the 'Site Sync' functionality.

The Sync System should be configured as follows. The IP is that of the Ocularis Base server and the Username/Password are those required to log on to the Ocularis Administrator application.

To set up syncing for a given recorder, the sync system configured above should be selected (called 'TEST' here) and the 'Identifier' should be the IP address of the Ocularis Recorder (in this example this is the same as the above IP of the Ocularis
