If the Kit Manager is running on the platform, most conveniently you can install the Cameras and Home Device Manager bundles altogether by executing the "Cameras DA HDM Support" install script. In addition, to have the Home Device plugin in the Web Admin Console you need to execute the "Device Access HDM Web Admin" install script.
Use the following command on the runtime console:
kitman.install "Cameras DA HDM Support"
Then type
kitman.install "Device Access HDM Web Admin"
Home Device Page
The user interface to camera management is available under the HDM page of the Web Admin Console.
Make sure that the OSGi Runtime contains the bundles required for Camera and Home Device Manager support and for its Web UI.
Open a browser window and go to the URL http://<osgi_host>/system/console and log in by using the default user name admin and password admin. On success, the Web Admin Console page will appear. If the default port 80 is used by another application, the URL will be available on the secondary port - http://<osgi_host>:8080/system/console
In the Web Admin Console select the IoT>>HDM tab.
The Devices tab of the Home Devices page shows the devices registered in the Home Device Manager. Here, depending on the capabilities of the relevant protocol adapter, you can request initialization information from a device by executing an "add" operation, force the adapter to perform a search for devices with specific features, and remove devices.

From the device class specific Operations box, select the operation and if needed fill in its input arguments in the fields appearing underneath.
