How do I add a new site and camera?

A "site" in Huvio represents one physical location — a store, a warehouse, a mall unit. Cameras always belong to a site.
To add a new site:

1. From the dashboard, go to Sites.
2. Select Add Site.
3. Enter the site name and address (this appears on incident alerts, so use something staff will recognize).
4. Select Save.

To add a camera to that site:

1. Open the site you just created.
2. Select Add Camera.
3. Choose your connection type (RTSP or ONVIF) and follow the steps in "What cameras does Huvio support, and how do I connect an RTSP or ONVIF camera?".
4. Name the camera by its location within the store (e.g., "Checkout," "Stockroom Door").
5. Confirm the live preview looks correct, then select Save.

Repeat for each camera at that site. There's no limit to the number of sites on your account, though each plan has a per-camera cost — see "What does pricing look like, and what does a camera cost?".
