Can you copy and paste alert settings?

Post by NewDaddy »

I'm building alert routines into indoor cameras that will send alert only in the away arm status.
I've successfully tinkered with one camera, but it looks like the Alert setting is to be configured at the individual camera level.
Does that mean I have to set up the Alert routine for each of my cameras?
Is there a way to "copy" the alert set-up or set a few cameras up in batch?

No and yes. Camera Settings -> first tab -> copy button. See below:

What I did was create a clone and copied profiles to the clone to test it first. Once I was satisfied, I pulled the trigger. The alerts tab did have the on alert actions from the source in the destination camera when I did it.
