ZenCAM Current Camera Settings Retrieval Using ZenduONE Platform

This guide provides comprehensive step-by-step instructions for retrieving current camera settings from ZenCAM devices using the ZenduONE platform. The feature enables clients to verify and review current device configurations including time zone settings, channel configurations, and WiFi connectivity without manual device access.

Overview

The current camera settings retrieval feature enables remote verification of ZenCAM device configurations through the ZenduONE platform interface. This functionality proves particularly valuable for clients requiring device configuration confirmation without physical device inspection or manual settings verification processes.

Prerequisites

Device Requirements:

• ZenCAM device must be online and actively connected to ZenduONE platform

• Device must be accessible through ZenduONE platform for bidirectional command transmission and response reception

Platform Access: Valid ZenduONE platform login credentials and appropriate device access permissions required for settings retrieval operations.

Step-by-Step Current Camera Settings Retrieval Process

Accessing the Asset Page

1. Navigate to the Asset Page: Log in to your ZenduONE platform and go to the Asset page. Locate the device for which you want to fetch the current settings, ensuring that it is online.

Fetching the Current Settings

1. Open Device Settings: Click on the settings icon next to your selected device.

2. Fetch Current Settings: Click on the 'Fetch Current Settings' option. This command only works on an online device, as it sends a real-time request to retrieve the settings.

3. View Retrieved Settings: After sending the command, the platform will display the current settings of your device. This includes details like time zone, enabled channels, SD card status, WiFi settings, and whether the hotspot is enabled.

Use Cases

Time Zone Verification

Configuration Confirmation: Clients can confirm that the device is set to the correct time zone, ensuring proper timestamp synchronization for recordings and operational logs across different geographic locations and operational requirements.

Channel and SD Card Configuration

Operational Status Review: Review how many channels are enabled and the status of the SD cards, including storage capacity, recording status, and operational integrity for optimal device performance monitoring.

WiFi and Hotspot Settings

Connectivity Assessment: Check if the device is connected to WiFi and if the hotspot feature is enabled for comprehensive network connectivity analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.

Operational Benefits

Remote Configuration Management: Platform enables efficient device configuration verification and management without requiring manual intervention or physical device access, reducing operational overhead and maintenance requirements.

Real-Time Status Monitoring: Immediate access to current device configuration provides up-to-date operational status for proactive device management and configuration optimization.

Configuration Validation: Systematic settings verification enables confirmation of proper device setup and identification of configuration discrepancies requiring attention or correction.

Conclusion
