Template
The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. Say
you have 20 cameras and you want to change the recording path,
archiving path, and retention time for all of them. Instead of having
to enter the same three pieces of information 20 times, you can
simply enter them once in the template, and then apply the template
to the 20 cameras with only two clicks.
Apply Template
Select which cameras you want to apply the template for. Use one
of the two Set buttons to actually apply the template.
Camera Name
The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as
in clients. You can overwrite the existing name with a new one.
