Automate the Camera replacement procedure

Can you build an automated tool to migrate old footage and settings over when a camera gets replaced?

Maybe you could detect if a new camera ID shows up using the same IP number from an existing camera that also happened to be recently offline, then pop up a message asking if we wanted to move footage and settings to the new camera, and delete the old camera "channel" once it's complete?

Or perhaps just a button in the camera settings dialog that says, [this is a replacement camera] which brings up the similar migration dialog and lets you pick which camera to copy from.

I did find the help resource for doing this manually. And boy is it convoluted.

Jeff,

Thank you for submitting the request. It's a great idea indeed. I'll let it our Devs know about it.

In the meantime, in order to partially simplify the process, I suggest that you try our new API Call Generator located on my.networkoptix.com.

Thank you.

Jeff,

This request is a hight priority to us. However, we already planned features for 3.2 and it did not make its way in.
Likely it will be one after it.

It is good to know. It's a feature I requested back in version 2.3 and the date was June 5, 2015. At least fisheye on the mobile app is working which was also a long requested feature.
