# External Devices

The agenda records devices and systems belonging to third parties that Aktion.NEXT works with – ATEAS camera systems, cash registers, purchase imports from vending machines, C4 and Alvis servers, and external antipassback. Depending on the device type, the form displays the required fields.

Agenda keeps track of third-party devices and systems that [Aktion.NEXT](https://Aktion.NEXT) works with – ATEAS camera systems, cash registers, purchase imports from vending machines, C4 and Alvis servers, and external antipassback. The form offers the required fields based on the device type.

## Device list

The list shows **Name**, **Type**, **Address**, **Port**, **Parent device**, **Outlet**, **Note**, **Changed by** and **Change time**.

![The Externí zařízení screen under HW zařízení shows a table of two external devices, including an ATEAS server and camera. Visible: Externí zařízení, HW zařízení, HW struktura, Typy HW struktury, Lokální snímače, Hlášení terminálů.](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/3h49uL8BUVupa3Sq6XaZlvLnY7B92K3TrI1zJ2bjRYgLvFwXNfaOSMFQCG0jKPo4NaAmiB67pMA.png)

-   **ATEAS camera**: **Parent device** (ATEAS administration server) and **Camera address** in the format server number-camera number, e.g. `1-3`,
    
-   cash register and purchase import: **Outlet**.
    

1.  Click **Create**.

**Password** is not displayed after saving. When editing, fill it in only if you want to change it. For some types (e.g. external antipassback), a configuration template is prefilled in **Notes** — edit the values, but do not change the order of the lines.

## Device HW structure

In the device details, below **Basic information** is the **HW structure** section. It determines which sensors the device works with.

1.  Click **Edit HW structure**.
    
2.  In the **Device access** column, enable nodes. Child nodes inherit the value. Above the tree, you can see how many sensors the device is enabled for.
    
3.  Click **Save**.
    

![The “Kamera – hlavní vjezd” device detail screen shows basic information above the HW structure tree, where ES-S2 is selected and its permissions appear in the right panel.
