Configuring Cameras Using a Setting File You can batch configure multiple cameras by loading a "setting file" based on camera specification files for each camera displayed in the camera list. Creating a Setting File For the setting file, specify the parameters such as the MAC address, IPv4 address, or camera name. It is most efficient if you save a camera list detected using the search function (P. 16) as a camera specification file, and edit it to use as a base for creating the setting file. 1 Save a camera specification file (P. 39). 2 Edit a camera specification file (P. 40). The header on the first line and the item names on the second line are required. For the third line and onward, specify the [MACAddress] (MAC address) that identifies the camera, and the values that you want to specify for the cameras. The following values can be set. [IPv4Address] (IPv4 address) [SubnetMask] (subnet mask) [DefaultGateway] (default gateway address) [CameraName] (camera name) [Port] (HTTP/HTTPS port number) [User] (administrator name) [Word] (administrator password) [DHCP] (whether to use DHCP) The [MACAddress] values are required. Important If the header on the first line is "ContainsPass=2", the value for [Word] (administrator password), is handled as an encrypted value. Therefore, when editing [Word] (administrator password), change the header to "ContainsPass=1". However, the administrator password information of the camera is saved in the file without being encrypted. Take care when handling the file to maintain security. Note • [MACAddress] (MAC address) is required for the setting file. • If the [DefaultGateway] (default gateway) column is left blank, an empty value is set for the camera. If you do not want to set this value, delete the [DefaultGateway] (default gateway) column. 3 Save the setting file. Save the edited setting file in CSV format. 48
