cloning camera's config

Post by nirv199 »

It would be nice to have another button by "ADD NEW MONITOR" that was "CLONE MONITOR", that would pop-up a pre-filled dialog box using everything from the original camera selected (would work like a template). This is useful when you have a bunch of "the same" cameras (where you just change the IP address and maybe user/password). This would be very useful for new setups, and existing ones when a lot of repeated work could be avoided (once you have a working template, you can re-use that without leaving any customization behind). That would prevent errors.

This is already possible with zmcamtool.pl.

First use zmcamtool.pl to create a preset from your first camera.
Then, use that preset to program the rest of your cameras.

For more details, enter "sudo zmcamtool.pl" from the command line to trigger the help text.
