How To Import/Export Camera Configurations In The Web UI.
Use the import/export feature to set configurations you have previously saved on a camera. This facilitates inputting your customized configurations instead of manually saving each setting again. This practical feature can be used when your device has been restored to its default settings due to an upgraded firmware or conducting a hard reset, or when you would like to apply your configurations to a new Amcrest IP camera.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always export your camera configurations first before upgrading the firmware, conducting a hard reset, or any other process that will cause your device to reset to the default settings. This process will only function correctly when the exporting step is done first as importing first will result in losing your configuration settings.
