At a glance, you can view a list of all the local and federated units that are
part of your system, and can see their information, such as unit type, manufacturer,
model, IP address, and so on, using the Hardware inventory
report.
What you should know
As an example, you can use the Hardware inventory report to see what
firmware version a unit has, and determine if it needs to be
upgraded.NOTE: The Hardware inventory report shows
information on both local and federated units. However, certain
functions, such as the action commands at the bottom of the screen,
and properties such as Password, Proposed firmware
version, and Proposed firmware description, are
not available for federated units.
To view the properties of units in your system:
-
From the home page, open the Hardware
inventory task.
-
Set up the query filter for your report. Choose one or more of
the following filters:
Units:
Select individual units or roles to investigate. Selecting a role is
equivalent to selecting all units managed by that role.
Source group:
Select the category of units (Access control, Intrusion detection, LPR,
or Video).
Custom fields:
Restrict the search to a predefined custom
field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are
defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you
when it was created or last configured.
-
Click Generate report.
The unit properties are listed in the report
pane.
