However, you can simplify the process for adding a new camera by clicking the button "Add New Camera". Notice that the system currently supports FLIR and Allied Vision cameras only. Moreover, to add a new camera you'll need its serial number. This can easily be found by clicking the "Cam Scan" button.

Here you can configure all the peripheral devices, such as: Feeders, lights, temperature sensors or any switch that you want the system to manage.

For an example of how to configure periphery config file click here.
After you finish configuring the peripheral devices you must upload the configuration to the Arduinos that are configured in the periphery_config file.
