You can import or export the configuration settings from one Genetec
Patroller™ instance to another, simplifying the
deployment of multiple patrol vehicles.
What you should know
For example, if you have a fleet of patrol vehicles, you can configure one and then
export the settings to the others. You cannot import settings between different versions
of
Genetec
Patroller™. For example, you cannot import
settings from a 6.5 version of
Genetec
Patroller™ to a
6.6 version of
Genetec
Patroller™.
- Before you import settings, your current settings are saved to a zip file on the
patrol vehicle computer’s desktop to be used as a backup if necessary.
- The imported Genetec
Patroller™ settings will
overwrite all current Genetec
Patroller™
settings.
- If an error occurs during import, Genetec
Patroller™ Config Tool will abort the import
process and restore the old settings.
Procedure
-
Open Genetec
Patroller™ Config Tool on the Genetec
Patroller™ computer that is ready to export

configure.
