Bulk creation of IP devices

You can create IP devices in bulk by importing their parameters from a CSV file.

Attention!

You have to disable the UAC first.

Do the following:

Create a CSV file with devices listed as follows:
```
IP address, Port, Vendor, Model, Login, Password, Identifier, Object name, Latitude, Longitude, Azimuth, Archive name, Recording mode
```
Attention!
- For each added camera, three parameters are required: IP address, Vendor and Model. The parameters that aren't specified will be automatically set to their default values.
  Even if no additional parameters are set, you must still include commas.
- All parameters are case-sensitive.
- To separate the integer and fractional parts in coordinates, use a point.
- If there is a comma in the device model name, in order not to violate the logic of the CSV file, it is necessary to add the \ character before the comma in the model name.
  Example: the device model name is CO-i20DY2(2,7-9) (CO-YUC-HM96-279). In the CSV file, it is necessary to specify the model name as CO-i20DY2(2\,7-9) (CO-YUC-HM96-279).
For example:
```
10.0.12.245, 80, Bosch, Dinion IP starlight 8000 MP, service, Admin12345!, 1441, Camera 1, 0, 0, 0, Archive AliceBlue, Always
10.0.12.246,, Bosch, Dinion IP starlight 8000 MP,,,,,,,,,
10.0.12.247, 80, Bosch, Dinion IP starlight 8000 MP,,,, Camera 3,,, Archive AliceBlue, On motion
```
Attention!
The vendor and model of the device must be specified exactly as in the list of supported devices.
For correct display of the object name in Axxon One, the CSV file must be UTF-8 BOM or UTF-32 BOM encoded.
Upload the created file using the Drag&Drop method in one of the following ways:
- using the IP Device Discovery Wizard in Axxon One.
- using the form for adding CSV files.

Note

If Axxon One is running in the safe mode, the CSV file must be dragged&dropped to the IP Device Discovery Wizard from the application window, which is running with the administrator rights.
If you add a CSV file with incorrectly specified camera models or parameters, pop-up windows with warnings or error messages will be displayed. If the file is successfully uploaded, a pop-up window with success message will be displayed.

The specified devices will be added to the configuration.
