Did you know that the only time you can bulk change your camera device names in Milestone XProtect is when you initially add them into the system?
Are you bored yet? Us too.
Most organizations start off with simple names for their cameras. Names that are not very descriptive, like “Camera 1” or “Front Camera.”
But as your organization grows, you’ll find that you need your camera naming conventions to tell a “story” about your system and how it works.
As we have already learned, renaming your camera hardware is not as simple as it seems, it entails renaming each individual device within each hardware set.
Because of the exorbitant amount of time needed to complete this task, it often gets pushed onto the back burner… where it will live a long, sad, boring life.
As surveillance professionals with over 20 years of experience, we had battled with this annoyance one too many times. It was our extreme boredom while renaming cameras and updating passwords, one by one, drove us to find a solution!
The solution to our monotony?
You guessed it…
Only want to update a specific part of the name but not change the whole thing?
No problem.
Easily perform a “find and replace” to update as many device names as your heart desires!
Solving a boring problem has never been more exciting.
