Device Drivers
VMX300(-E) uses device drivers to control and manage devices. Each device driver controls a particular type of equipment, such as surveillance
camera, video recorder, or any other type of device.
There are several steps involved in configuring device drivers on the VMX300(-E) server:
1. Launch the device driver. Refer to Starting and Stopping Device Drivers - Start a Device Driver.
2. Add the device driver to the server configuration as described in Add a New Device Driver.

1. Navigate the Object Browser to [project name] > Device Drivers. Double-click <Add New Driver> in the right pane, or right-click Device
Drivers in the left pane and select Add New from the pop-up menu. The Add New Driver dialog box opens.

the server configuration, you can add devices of that type.
• Changes to device drivers, such as adding a new driver to the server configuration, come into effect immediately. You cannot discard
your changes by exiting configuration mode without saving.
