Introduction

Omada Fusion Pro Gateway integrates both networking and security functions into one device and supports the adoption of VIGI security devices. This article will introduce how to add VIGI devices to the Omada Fusion Pro Gateway.

Requirements

• Omada Fusion Pro Gateway
• VIGI Devices (NVR/IPC) with corresponding firmware version

Configuration

Method for adding devices:

Add devices on the web page

Connect the device to the Omada Fusion Pro Gateway, go to Omada Guard > Devices, and click the Adopt button to complete adding the device.

If you can’t discover your device, please check the following issues:

• Power on the device and confirm it's working normally.

• Connect the device to the network and confirm Fusion Pro can reach it.

• Confirm ownership: the device isn’t claimed by another Controller.

• If it’s a third-party camera, enable ONVIF in the camera settings.

• Check compatibility: confirm the device model is on the compatibility list.

• Confirm the version of Omada Guard is up to date.

Add devices through IP Address: Enter the IP Address of your Omada Guard to tell the device where to discover it. This feature is commonly used for the device to be managed by Omada Guard in Layer 3 deployments.

NVR: Go to Network>Platform Access, select VIGI VMS as Platform Access Mode, enter the IP address of Omada Fusion Gateway, usually 192.168.188.1.

IPC: Go to Network Settings>Network Service>Platform Access, select IP Address as Platform Access Mode, enter the IP address of Omada Fusion Gateway,192.168.188.1 by default.

Notes: There is a limit to the number of devices that Fusion Gateway can manage. If the limit is reached, you need to delete existing devices before adding new ones.

You can go to Devices>Preference>Add 3rd-Party Device to check the device capacity.

Add devices on the App

Step 1. Omada Fusion Pro Gateway detected. Download Omada Guard Application.

In local mode, you need to ensure that the app and the Fusion Gateway are in the same local network. This can be achieved by connecting your phone to the Wi-Fi SSID of the same LAN.

In Cloud mode, you need to bind your TP-Link ID to Omada Cloud.

Later, you can discover your Omada Fusion device in the App.

Step 2. Tap to enter the Fusion details page. On the Devices page, you can automatically discover devices that are accessible, displaying the devices automatically scanned by the Fusion Gateway that are on the same local network.

In addition, tap the “+” icon in the upper-right corner to actively search for adoptable devices. After selecting the device, enter its account credentials and confirm to complete the device adoption process. In cloud mode, you can also add devices by scanning the QR code.

Notes: The device username is “admin” by default and can be edited and modified;

The device password is empty by default (required).

After batching account/password verification, the verification results will be displayed. Tap the Complete button to return to the device list.

• Successfully verified devices will be added to the device list with the status “Connected”;

• Failed devices will be displayed in the device list with the status “Adoption Failed”;

• Some devices with failed verification support re-verification, while others do not.

Note: If all the selected Pending devices are in the “Uninitialized” state, password verification is not required, and the devices can be adopted directly.

Furthermore, when adding devices, if the maximum limit has been reached, no additional devices can be selected, and system performance may be impacted.
