To add Motion Wrapper and IP Cameras

NOTE: I had to set my camera to 640X480 to avoid losing the connection every 1-2 minutes.

• Open your webadmin control panel and on the left pane at the bottom click on "Show Device Tree".

• In the left pane Click on "core/hybrid".

• On the right pane near the top, click on "Create Child Device", then leave everything blank and click "Pick Device Template" button.

• Click the pull down box under "Device Template" and find the template labeled "Motion Wrapper", select this item and click "Pick Device Template"

• Now on the right pane, click "Create Child Device" again. Enter your IP Cameras IP address and MAC address here, then click "Pick Device Template"

• Click the pull down box under "Device Template" and use "Generic Motion IP Camera", then click "Pick Device Template"

• Now on the right window pane, under Device Info fill in your camera's MAC address, it is located on a sticket on the back of the camera.
