Add Devices to the Gateway

You can connect devices, such as cameras, speakers, or microphones to the XV Plus Gateway to enable analytics, AlarmVision, 2-Way Audio, and more.

For optimal performance, DMP recommends the total resolution of added devices not exceed each model limit (XV-24: 24 MP, XV-60: 60 MP, XV-96: 96 MP). All cameras should have a frame rate of 15 FPS or less and a codec: H.264. Performance may vary based on number of cameras, framerate, codec, and motion detection.
