How to Find and Use an AvertX Connect Configuration File
The Configuration file is a small .dat file that contains virtual snapshots of the basic configuration of the recorder, including camera configurations and license information. They can be useful when replacing a recorder or loading a past configuration after performing a system recovery. The Configuration File can save a good deal of time by preventing a manual re-configuration.
One of the advantages of the ProConnect platform is that once it is connected to AvertX Connect cloud service the recorder will automatically send a Configuration File every 7 days to the AvertX Connect account.
