Restoring Settings
Important
• Do not disconnect a network cable or turn off the power of a camera during the restore process. Doing so may cause a camera to
malfunction.
• Do not launch this tool on multiple computers and then perform a restore simultaneously from multiple computers. Doing so may cause
a camera to malfunction.
• Restore cameras while there is no connection to them. If, for example, a camera’s Viewer or Admin Tools is open, close it.
• Only files saved as backups using [Back Up Settings] (P. 63) of this tool and [Settings Page] > [Backup / Restore] on camera can be
restored. A camera cannot be restored with a backup file that has been edited or manipulated.
