Maintenance Window

The Maintenance window provides options for resetting or restarting the IP camera, saving configuration information from the IP camera, and uploading the configuration information to the IP camera.

Saving and uploading configuration is useful for these activities:

•Configuring multiple IP cameras—If your network includes several IP cameras that should have similar configurations, you can configure one IP camera, save that configuration, and upload it to other IP cameras. Then, instead of manually configuring all options on each IP camera, you manually configure only the options that are unique, such as the IP address, if not obtained from DHCP.

•Backing up configuration—If you save the configuration from the IP camera, you can upload it to the IP camera to restore the configuration if it is lost, or if you can upload it to a replacement IP camera, if needed.

To display the Maintenance window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Administration, then click Maintenance.

Table 3-8describes the options in the Maintenance window.
