FusionPro Adding a CVP or Luma Camera to the ClareOne Panel Technical Bulletin

Last Modified: 12/28/20

Introduction

This tech bulletin provides direction for connecting ClareVision Plus and Luma cameras to the ClareOne panel using FusionPro. Before connecting to ClareOne, the cameras must be connected to the same local network as the ClareOne panel and configured according to the ClareVision/Luma installation instructions.

Note: The ClareOne panel uses ONVIF protocol to connect and stream from cameras. Not all Luma cameras have ONVIF enabled by default and must have a “Media User” created to allow the connections. Follow the steps “Luma camera settings,” to determine if the Media User configuration is required.

2. A list of cameras will appear. Locate the camera you wish to activate and check the box next to it.
3. You will see a camera activation dialogue on the right side. Choose a password. Click the Activate button once the password is chosen.
