If no cameras have been added, the table shows No Cameras Added and tells you to select Add Cam.

Action |
What it does |
|---|---|
|
Download sample file |
Downloads a CSV that shows the columns and format required for a bulk upload. |
|
Export .csv |
Opens Export Cameras. The export uses the current filters. Select Export all cameras (ignore filters) to include every camera. The notice says that exporting all cameras may take longer. Select Export .csv. On success, a message confirms the cameras were exported. If the filters match nothing, the dialog says no cameras were found to export. |
|
Upload .csv |
Uploads a CSV in the sample-file format and creates those cameras. The dialog asks you to confirm creating all of the cameras in the file. Add without plan if no slots available adds a camera without a subscription when no plan slot is free. The result lists each camera as uploaded or failed. |
Select more than one camera
The checkbox at the left of a row selects that camera. The checkbox in the header selects every camera on the page. The tooltip is Select multiple cameras to perform bulk actions.
When two or more cameras are selected, Data Actions and Add Cam are replaced by:
-
Stream Settings, which applies the same stream settings to the selected cameras. If every camera is selected, the page asks you to confirm before continuing.
-
Delete Selected, which opens Bulk Delete Cameras and deletes the selected cameras. The dialog shows a result for each camera.
