Register a new device

A device that is powered on and connected still collects nothing until it is registered. This takes about two minutes.

  • The device is powered on and on the same network as your other devices
  • You know which line or unit it sits on
  • Your account can manage devices

From the sidebar, choose Devices under Management.

The Devices page showing Total, Online, Offline and Discovered counts above the device list

The four cards across the top are your fleet at a glance. Look at Discovered — that count is devices that have announced themselves but are not registered yet. A number there is a to-do, not a status.

Select Add Device in the top right.

The Add Device dialog listing devices discovered on the network

The dialog lists what has been discovered on the network. Pick your device and confirm.

Scroll to Device Groups and either add the device to an existing group or select Create Group.

This step matters more than it looks. Detection settings attach to a group, not to a device. A group is normally one line’s worth of cameras, so setting a threshold once applies to every camera on that line. Get this right early — it is the unit everything else is configured against.

Back in the device list, the device should move to Online within a minute or so and start showing CPU, memory and temperature.

-- in those columns means no telemetry has arrived yet. On a device you just registered that is normal for the first cycle. If it persists, the device is registered but not actually publishing.
