DH4C Basic Configuration
Copying DVR Configuration
Understanding Configuration Files
A configuration file preserves a particular DVR setup, so you can apply the settings to other DVRs in a single operation. You
create a named configuration file, which contains all a DVR's current Configuration menu settings.
If you need more than one system setup for your fleet (for example, a specific number of cameras and viewpoints for different
vehicle configurations), build a separate configuration file for each situation.
You can load a configuration file onto DVRs during installation or when changes are required, and all settings are applied
automatically.
Copying DVR Settings
Before copying configuration, ensure the DVR is set up for specific vehicle type and mobile surveillance requirements, including
camera names/channels, recording parameters, Alarm and Signal assignments, system preferences, and networking details.

This procedure requires physical access to the DVR you want to copy settings from, a portable video monitor, a USB mouse,
