Example System / GV Branch b80 Release Note

Plugin for Camera Presets (obsoleted)

Note: This section describes a now-obsoleted function. New users should use Community Platform, instead.

Concept

The sophistication of IP camera configuration can be overwhelming for some people. If you are an experienced power-user or value-added-reseller, you can design frequently-used configuration presets and send to your users to import to their system. They will be able to quickly switch among the available preset configurations.

Capturing Config Parameters

Hold SHIFT key and invoke Camera Setup dialog, Advanced tab will be displayed.

Input a description and click Capture. Everything in Video Setup page will be saved in NVR system. View them in page Plugins of System Configuration dialog. Select an item and click Export to save it as a file.

Using Camera Presets

After a plugin is imported in System Configuration dialog, a list of available config presets will be displayed in Camera Setup dialog. Only presets with matching driver will be listed. Select a preset and click Apply to apply the preset to this channel.
