2.0 Import/Export a configuration
In menu - configure - top menu is an option "export configuration". It can build an URL, which
includes the full configuration for the first server in the list + all settings values.
This URL can later be used to import the data, either using a mail client or a web page. You cannot click example below from a PC browser, only the web browser on an Android device.
Example
It is also possible to export a limited configuration URL, which can be used to build a QR code.
A QR code with the configuration, can be scanned with the camera, and imported to Telnet.
A large QR code can give problems to read for some camera types, therefore try to make the data in the URL as small as possible.
