Camera Detection/Configuration Techniques
This chapter covers the procedure for assigning IP addresses using a camera specification file. It also 
explains how to load the settings of a camera and then copy them to another camera, or save them to a file 
and then apply them to multiple cameras. 

46
Specify the IPv4 address to detect cameras in your currently operating system , and add them to the camera list. You can 
either detect them one by one manually, or load t he CSV file to detect multiple cameras at once.
Note
A maximum of 64 detected cameras can be added to the camera lis t. If you exceed the maximum number of cameras (64) when you try to 
add cameras, an error message is displayed.  In this case, a camera cannot be added until you delete cameras from the camera list 
(P. 23)....

The header on the first line and the item name on the  second line are required. Do not change the strings.
Edit the items in the third and the lowe r lines except the IPv4 address parts.
Note
You can specify SSL and the port number as a set along with the IPv4 address.
The [Open] dialog box is displayed.

You can batch configure multiple cameras by loading a “setting file” based on camera specification files for each camera 
displayed in th e camera list.
Creating a Setting File
For the setting file, specify the parameters such as the MAC addr ess, IPv4 address, or camera name. It is most efficient if 
you save a camera list detected using the search function (P. 16) as a came ra specification file, and edit it to use as a base 
for creating the setting file.
The header on the first line and the item...

Importing a Configuration File
Match the MAC address in the camera list and the MAC address in the setting file edited in the “Creating a Setting File” 
section above, and apply the  values of the setting file to the camera that matched.
Enter the folder in which the setting f ile is saved and the file name in the input field. Alternatively, you can click 
[Browse] and specify the setting file  in the dialog box that appears.

You can load advanced camera settings and when necessary change settings and save them to the camera. You can also 
save advanced settings as a file and load  the settings on a camera from that file.
Note
Copying advanced settings is only available for cameras that  are the same model and use the same firmware version.
Loading Advanced Settings from a Camera and Save to a Camera
Advanced settings saved to a camera can be  loaded using the following procedures.
