How Do You Name Cameras?

•Jun 29, 2020

Naming things is one of the hard problems in computer science and also one of the hard problems of IP video systems. Every time I set up a camera system, about 40% of the time spent adding a camera to the VMS is actually spent trying to figure out what to call it.

In order to make things logical, over the years we've adopted a system where there is a building tag in the name and also the end of the IP address, so the name is like "(TAG) Camera Name (1.100)". But that still leaves the base name.
