Question

How to batch upload a VADP package into several cameras?

Answer

VIVOTEK cameras have the capability of using packages that integrates specific functions (such as Smart VCA, Trend Micro, VIVOCloud, etc). If you need to upload one package into several devices please follow the next steps:

Step 1. Open the Shepherd application.

Step 2. Select the cameras that you want to upload the VADP package. For this tutorial we will use a MD9560-H. 

For easy manipulation you can us Ctrl + Right-click to select multiple cameras or Ctrl + A to select all the devices on the list.

Step 3. Select Maintenance icon , a "Authorize devices" message will popup before allowing access to the interface. Please be sure to enter the camera's username and password.

Note: If all the cameras are using a different password you wont be able to apply a batch upgrade because the software will be using the same authorization information for each camera. 

Step 4. In the Maintenance interface, go to the "Upload package" tab. Change the "Save package to" option to "Internal storage".

Step 5. Select the VADP package to be uploaded in the cameras:

Once you select the package the Shepherd application will automatically start uploading the package to all the cameras. Once finished you will see a "Uploaded successfully" message in the interface indicating that the package was applied successfully.
