Changing a device's information

To re-authenticate a device password

BLAZE requires camera authentication when viewing live video or configuring recording and event rules. If a device's password was changed externally and the connection was lost, or if authentication failed, re-authenticate immediately from the screen panel in View mode.

1. On the Home page, click View.
2. In the View tab navigation bar, click Devices.
3. From the device panel list, select the device with a failed authentication and place it in a layout.
4. In the screen panel for that device, click Re-authenticate.
   
   
   
   
5. In the Re-authenticate dialog, enter the device ID and the updated password.
6. Click Apply to attempt authentication.
   • If authentication succeeds, live video plays immediately.
   • If authentication fails, try again. Entering the wrong password repeatedly will lock the camera account. (For Hanwha Vision cameras, the account is locked after 5 or more failed attempts.)

Note:

In Settings > Devices, select a device with failed authentication and re-authenticate it using the alert banner at the top of the Device settings panel.

To rename a camera

1. Click Settings > Devices.
2. In the list of devices, select the desired device and right-click it.
3. From the shortcut menu, click Rename and enter a new name.
   • Device names can contain up to 64 characters.
   Note: A device can also be renamed by clicking the device name at the top of the Camera settings panel. Enter the new name and click Apply.
