If a camera is discovered automatically (see "Discovering Cameras Automatically"), it is displayed in Resource Tree as a predefined sequence ("model"or "manufacturer + model"). For instance, 10005 for Arecont Vision cameras or DWC-MD421D for Digital Watchdog.

Note: It is possible to configure Cameras for Administrators and Viewers with an appropriate permission level.

It is recommended to rename same camera models for easier identification. Cameras can be renamed directly from Resource Tree using Context Menu (or F2):

or in camera settings:

IP-addresses are added to a camera name automatically and are non-editable. It is possible to deactivate displaying IP addresses in Resource Tree.
