Note: You will need to ensure that Scout V1.1.16P is installed on the S2 tablet (touchscreen) and your S3 is running firmware V1.5.0. The procedure described in this article needs to be performed in the following scenarios: - Connecting a camera to S3 for the first time in both *single* and *multiple* camera S3 units. - Your current camera is faulty and you need to replace it with a new one. - You want to add additional cameras to your S3. In this procedure the S3 registers the serial number of a new camera when the camera is connected to the S3 for the first time. It is only after doing this procedure (once only), that you can proceed to do change the S3 camera settings from the dashboard. Steps: 1. Log into the tablet as an admin by tapping on the tree dots on the upper right corner and you will reach the settings screen. ![](https://support.siera.ai/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2022-02-40-03-70-PM.png) 2.
