Camera (Add CCTV)

Camera (Add CCTV)

Navigation: Airfob Pro portal > Device Management > Camera

Airfob Pro portal and Pro app can automatically detect IP cameras that are connected to the same network as an Airfob Edge Reader.
The cameras use the reader as a gateway, eliminating the need for an NVR (Network Video Recorder). Instead, the cameras utilize the built-in SD card storage.\


Check the requirements for the IP camera.
  1. Onvif profile: The IP camera must be compatible with Onvif profiles S or T.
  2. The camera must have a built-in SD card.
  3. It must use the same network as the Airfob Edge Reader.
  4. We have excellent compatibility with Hanwha cameras. Compatibility with other brands may vary depending on their adherence to Onvif profiles.
  5. If you have other camera brands that you would like to test, our team can assist you through the process
