The Boring Toolbox gives XProtect Management Clients the ability to create, export, and schedule customizable Milestone camera inventory reports, including details on cameras, servers, and storage configuration.
You went above and beyond to format your excel spreadsheet and include the make, model, name, IP, MAC, video settings, and even camera snapshots! Nothing can compete with the feeling of a job well done. Well, besides the joy of actually being done with such a tedious and boring project.
Unfortunately, your feelings of pride were all too short-lived once you realized your beautiful report, that you just spent so much time on, is already out of date.
The despair.
You, like many others, may be tempted to file these types of boring projects as a problem for “future you.” However, putting these camera inventory reports on the indefinite back burner isn’t the best option for you or your company because it limits your ability to report on and share about your security system.
