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 Patroller. For example, you cannot import
settings from a 6.5 version of Patroller to a
6.7 version of 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 Patroller settings will
overwrite all current 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 Patroller computer that is ready to export
settings.
-
Click Export.
A zip file is created on the patrol vehicle computer’s desktop.
-
Copy the zip file to the patrol vehicle computer you want to configure.
NOTE: You can keep the file on a USB key or network drive if you
choose, but it must be accessible by the patrol vehicle computer you want to
configure.
-
Open Genetec Patroller™ Config Tool
on the patrol vehicle computer you want to configure.
-
Click Import.
-
Browse to the zip file with the Patroller settings you want to import.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.
Results

the new settings are applied.
