Converting a camera

An installed camera can be converted into a new camera by transferring the camera configuration and recordings (driver conversion). Alarms, patrols and other settings are inherited by the new camera. This conversion can be used to install a new camera to replace a defective one.

Cameras using the generic driver are not fully supported and may only be converted partially.

  1. Select the camera in the overview.
  2. Click Open converter in the general settings of the selected camera.
  3. Select the manufacturer and the camera type of the new camera.
  4. Enter user name and password, if required.
  5. Click Verify conversion. A list of possible conversion issues is displayed.
  6. After resolving the issues, click Apply to start the conversion process.
