Welcome to Pipl Systems Media Portal

Greetings to all security enthusiasts and installers! We extend a warm welcome to the Pipl Systems Media Portal, your go-to destination for expert insights in the realm of security systems. In this article, we’re thrilled to share valuable information for our community of installers, addressing a common concern—integrating UNIVIEW IP Cameras and NVRs with the AJAX Alarm System.

Connecting UNIVIEW IP Camera or NVR to AJAX Alarm System

As part of the AJAX ecosystem, you already enjoy a robust alarm system, complete with video surveillance capabilities through NVRs and cameras. However, what if you’re using a third-party solution for your cameras and NVR? Fear not, as there’s a seamless way to enroll different cameras and NVRs into the AJAX application, allowing you to monitor them all through your AJAX ecosystem. Today, we’ll guide you through the process using UNIVIEW cameras.

Step 1: Be in the AJAX Ecosystem

First things first, ensure you are within the AJAX ecosystem. You should have an AJAX hub and your products set up. Now, let’s proceed to connect with other applications. For this, you’ll need a UNIVIEW account. Navigate to the video surveillance menu, click the plus sign, choose UNIVIEW, and enter your UNIVIEW account details—typically your personal or work email and password.

Once done, your UNIVIEW account will appear within your AJAX application.

Step 2: Linking Accounts and Adding Devices

Go back to the dashboard, click “Add Device,” and choose “Add Third-Party Camera.” Select UNIVIEW, pick the linked account, name your camera, assign it to a room, and let the system load. It will display all available camera sources—select the ones you want to add and click “OK.”

Step 3: Manage Permissions

However, keep in mind that, by default, this grants viewing permission to everyone using your AJAX account. To manage access, go to the settings, navigate to privacy, and fine-tune access for users or installers by enabling or disabling the “Watch Camera Livestream” option.

Step 4: Enjoy Live Streaming

Return to the main menu, and there it is—the live stream from your UNIVIEW camera. Click on the camera icon, and voila! You have a live feed right within your AJAX application.

Conclusion: Your One-Stop Security Hub
