Copying DVR Conguration
Understanding Conguration Files
A conguration le preserves a particular DVR setup, so you can apply the settings to other DVRs in a single operation. You
create a named conguration le, which contains all a DVR's current Conguration menu settings.
If you need more than one system setup for your eet (for example, a specic number of cameras and viewpoints for different
vehicle congurations), build a separate conguration le for each situation.
You can load a conguration le onto DVRs during installation or when changes are required, and all settings are applied
automatically.
Copying DVR Settings
Before copying conguration, ensure the DVR is set up for specic vehicle type and mobile surveillance requirements, including
camera names/channels, recording parameters, Alarm and Signal assignments, system preferences, and networking details.
For more information, see DH4C Conguration: Setting up the DVR.
This procedure requires physical access to the DVR you want to copy settings from, a portable video monitor, a USB mouse,
and a USB storage device formatted by a Windows computer using the FAT.
