# Detecting cameras

**NOTE**

- If a camera is already connected to the device, the camera will be automatically detected once the device is activated.
- If a camera is detected, proceed to "Configuring Camera Authentication and Recording Settings".
- For detailed information on how to use the integrated video management system and its settings, please refer to the following
  ⇒ [Integrated Video Management System Manual](https://manual.amnimo.com/en/docs/enhanced-video-management-system/)

- Possible reasons for a camera not being detected include
  - The IP address of the camera belongs to a different network than the edge gateway br0
  - The IP address of the edge gateway br0 is not set in the default gateway address of the camera.
  - The camera's ONVIF function is not enabled.
