Network security relies heavily on visibility. You cannot protect, monitor, or manage IP cameras that you cannot find on your network. Whether you are deploying a brand-new surveillance system or inheriting a tangled legacy network, locating every single camera is your first and most critical step.
For enterprises managing hundreds or thousands of cameras across multiple locations, the CheckVideo Command Management Console (CVCommand) provides centralized, browser-based administration. Features include:
| Parameter | Recommended Setting | |:---|:---| | Resolution | Up to 8MP | | Frame Rate | Multiple of 5 fps, max 30 fps | | GOV Length / I-Frame Interval | 2 × frame rate, or 2 seconds | | Bitrate | Less than 4Mbps | | Profile | Main (preferred) or High |

The CheckVideo IP Camera Scan Tool is a deploying CheckVideo hardware. It eliminates the tedious process of guessing IP addresses or navigating complex camera web interfaces just to change a subnet mask.
Reviews also praise the efficiency of CheckVideo's installation teams, with comments describing the process as "seamless" and the technicians as "knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and very understanding".
The tool sends a discovery packet across the subnet using protocols like UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) or WS-Discovery (Web Services Dynamic Discovery).
