    You can load a saved camera specification file after starting this tool, or config ure it to be automatically loaded when this 
    tool is started.
    Importing When This Tool Starts
    After starting this tool, the follo wing two methods are available for  loading the camera specification file.
     Select the [File] > [Open], and load the camera  specification file from the [Open] dialog box.
     Drag and drop the camera specifi cation file to the camera list.
    If you load a camera specification file , its content is displayed in the camera li st, and a message is displayed confirming 
    whether to update the information in the camera list. If you cl ick [Yes], authentication with the camera is performed, and the 
    information is updated. To display  the loaded file in the camera list without updating, click [No].
    Note
     Even if you did not update the information in the camera list  when loading, you can update it afterward by selecting the camer a in the 
    camera list and clicking   (Update Camera Information).
     If the common authentication information saved in the camera sp ecification file satisfies both of the following conditions, it can be loaded 
    by the [Common Authentication Informati on Setting] dialog box of this tool.

    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.

    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).
    Detecting a Single Camera
    Specify an IPv4 address to manually detect a  camera connected to a different network segment.
    The [Add Camera] dialog box is displayed.
    (1) [IPv4 Address] Enter the IPv4 address of the camera to add.
    (2) [Administrator Name] Enter the camera’s administrator information. The fi eld will be grayed out and cannot be filled in if 
    [Authenticate using common authenticatio n information] checkbox is selected.
    (3) [Administrator password] Enter the administrator password for the camera. The fi eld will be grayed out and cannot be filled in if 
    [Authenticate using common authenticatio n information] checkbox is selected.
    (4) [Authenticate using common authentication information] Select this checkbox to perform authentication using t he common authentication information (P. 24). If you 
    select this checkbox, the administra tor name and administrator password specified in the above (2) and (3) 
    are canceled and grayed out.
    (5) [Enable SSL communications] Select this to connect to the camera using SS L communication. If you select the [Enable SSL 
    Communications] checkbox, the self-signed certificat e is checked. A message is displayed if you 
    authenticate a camera that has a problem with its se lf-signed certificate and has not been connected before.
    (6) Port number input field Specify the port number to be used for camera conne ction. Normally, leave this set to the default.
    The camera is added to the camera list.

    Detecting Multiple Cameras
    Import a CSV file with the IPv4 address column edited to detect a batch of cameras.
    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.
    The cameras with the specified IPv4 addresse s are detected and added to the camera list.
    Note
     If you load a camera specification file in which only the IPv4 address is written be low the third line, authentication is performed 
    with the settings you specified in the [Common Authentication In formation Setting] dialog box. If you load a camera specificati on 
    file when the [Common Authentication Information Setting] dial og box is unspecified (default settings) and no cameras are 
    displayed in the camera list, authentication  is performed using the common authentication information on the first line of the 
    camera specification file (P. 40).
    You can also list the administrator name and administrator passwor d along with the IPv4 address. In this case, authentication is 
    performed with the listed administrator name and administrator password.
     The camera is not added to the list of cameras if the IPv4  address is incorrect, authentication failed, or the camera did not 
    connect correctly.
     Since the connectable cameras are added to the camera list fi rst, the order of the cameras may differ from the camera 
    specification file you edited.
    1Save the camera specification file (P. 38).
    2Edit the camera specification file (P. 40).
    3Save the camera specification file in the CSV format.
    4Select [File] > [Open].
    5In [File Name], enter the camera specification file you saved, and click [OK].

    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 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)
    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.
    Save the edited setting file in CSV format.
    Configuring Cameras Using a Setting File
    1
    Save a camera specification file (P. 39).
    2Edit a camera specification file (P. 40).
    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 pass word), 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.
    3Save the setting file.
    The [MACAddress] values are required.

    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.
    Select [Do not set an IP address already in use] to ensu re the IP address is not the same as an IP address that 
    has already been assigned.
    Note
    Cameras with the [Connection Status] set to [Admin Required] in t he camera list are not configured if the setting file does not have 
    an administrator name and an administrator password.
    1Select [Camera Settings] > [Set from file],  and specify the edited configuration file.
    2Click [OK].

    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.
    [Advanced Camera Settings]  can only be set for cameras in the camera list whose [Connection Status] is 
    displayed as [Connectable] or [Connectable (error)].
    The [Select Source] dialog box appears. Only cameras that fulfill the following requirements are displayed in the 
    dialog box.
     Cameras selected in step 1 whose [Model  Name] and [Firmware Version] are the same
     Whose [Connection Status] is [C onnectable] or [Connectable (error)]
    Note
    You can sort the data by clicking a header such as [Camera Name].
    Loading of the setting information from the selected cam era begins. It takes a while for loading to finish. When 
    loading is finished, the [Advanced Ca mera Settings] dialog box appears.
