    If you create a camera specification file listing the information needed to connect to cameras beforehand, you can load the 
    file with the Camera Angle Setting Tool and connect to cameras  that appear in the camera list simply by specifying them.
    When you set the camera angle of multiple cameras, this eliminates the need to enter information, such as the host name 
    and password, of each camera individually.
    Create a Camera Specification File
    Create the camera specification file  with an editor like the text editor and save the file as .csv format.
    Information Listed in a  Camera Specification File
    The camera specification file consists of the following format.
    The first row serves as a header row  listing the titles of each column.
    Each row from the second row on, lists the information for one camera per row.
    The information listed in each column is described below.
