Adding Your First Device to IC Secure Mobile

The IC Secure mobile app can connect to an IC Secure server, scan the local network for compatible devices, or add a device manually by IP address.

Connecting to an IC Secure Server

For most systems, add the IC Secure server instead of adding each camera one at a time. When the app connects to the server, it can load cameras managed by that system and provide access to supported live view and recorded video features.

To connect to the IC Secure server:

1. Open IC Secure and tap the Add Device button or the + icon.
2. Select Server as the connection type.
3. Enter the connection details provided by your installer or system administrator.
4. Tap Save or Connect.
5. The app connects to the server and loads the camera list.

Field	Description
Server Address	The IP address or hostname of the IC Secure server.
Port	The server connection port. Your installer or system administrator can provide this.
Username	Your IC Secure login username.
Password	Your IC Secure login password.

LAN Scan

If your phone is on the same local network as the cameras, IC Secure can scan the network for compatible devices.

To add a device by LAN scan:

1. Tap Add Device.
2. Select LAN Scan.
3. Wait for the app to scan the local network.
4. Select a camera from the discovered device list.
5. Enter the camera username and password when prompted.

Note: LAN scan requires the mobile device to be on the same local network as the devices being added. Enterprise networks, VLAN isolation, or network security settings may prevent discovery.

Direct IP Connection

If a camera is not discovered by LAN scan, you can add it manually by IP address.

To add a camera manually:

1. Tap Add Device.
2. Select Manual or IP Address.
3. Enter the device information.
4. Tap Save.
5. The app attempts to connect and displays the camera in the device list.

Field	Description
Name	A friendly name for the camera, such as Front Lobby or Loading Dock.
IP Address	The camera IP address on the network.
Port	The camera HTTP or HTTPS port.
Username	The camera login username.
Password	The camera login password.

Verifying Your Connection

After adding a device, verify that the connection is working. Open the device in live view and confirm video loads correctly.

If the connection fails, confirm the address, port, username, and password. If using remote access, confirm that remote access has been configured for the network.
