IC Scout

IC Scout is the mobile configuration tool for IC Realtime security camera installers. Discover, initialize, and manage IC Realtime devices directly from your phone — no laptop or desktop software needed.

DEVICE DISCOVERY

Automatically finds IC Realtime cameras, NVRs, and doorbells on your local network using DCP and DHIP protocols. Devices appear within seconds of connecting to the site's WiFi.

DEVICE INITIALIZATION

Set admin passwords on factory-fresh devices — individually or in bulk. Secure encrypted credential exchange protects passwords during setup. Password strength validation ensures compliance with device security requirements.

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

After initialization, sign in to manage devices:

• Sync device clock from your phone

• Configure NTP time servers and timezone

• Set the on-screen channel name (OSD overlay)

• Capture live snapshots

• View storage status

DEPLOYMENT MANIFEST

Export a CSV manifest with device details and credentials after setup — ready to hand off to the project manager or NOC team.
