Profile Management

(This function is only available on IP540 and IP540P for the time being.) The profile management feature allows installers and users to set up more than one camera of similar configurations at great ease. After the current camera is properly configured, users can export current camera's configuration to a profile on PC and then load it into other cameras, thereby making least changes possible like changes on IP address or a few other settings that might need to be modified individually when configuring a newly added camera. In addition, this feature can also be considered as a backup mechanism for future service need.

1. After the current camera is properly configured, go to [Maintenance] > [Profile Management], and click on [Export] to download camera profile to a user-specified location.

2. To load an existing profile into a different camera, log in to the maintenance page of a different camera, press [Browse…] and locate the profile you wish to load, and then click on [Import] to proceed.

3. Camera will start to reboot, which will take approximately 60 seconds to complete. Do not interrupt browser action during the process as doing so may cause problems to your camera system.

Caution!

you may only cross-import profile among identical camera models.

Reset All Settings to Default

This will reset IP camera to its factory default settings, producing the same result as pressing the hardware rest button at the back of camera. If you need to perform hardware reset, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter.

Firmware Update

You can download the latest firmware from Compro’s website (www.comprosecurity.com/en/supports.html).

After downloading the firmware, please log in to the setup page of your IP camera and click [Maintenance] on the top menu and then look for firmware update section. Press the [Browse] button and locate the downloaded firmware file and press [Upgrade] button to update camera firmware. Once the update process begins, it must not be interrupted.
