Summary

Profiles are used to segment the DesignPro camera database into smaller, more manageable groups that share common elements. This could include “classroom”, “hallway”, “warehouse”, “exterior perimeter” or “loading dock” profiles. Classroom cameras might be lower resolution indoor cameras that only record during the day when classes are in session and at night during motion. Loading dock cameras could record only when a truck is loading or when there is motion. This article describes how to create profiles in DesignPro.

Creating a Profile

To create a profile: 

1. Log in to DesignPro.
   
   
2. Select Profiles from the toolbar.
   
   
3. Click + New in the Device Profile tab.
   
   
4. Create a profile name that describes this profile.
   
   
   
   
5. Edit the camera profile, lighting condition, recoding duration, and recording schedule.
   
   
6. Click Filter to select which cameras will be available in this profile. This could include certain series of cameras, indoor/outdoor, AI/Non AI, or camera type.
   
   

   NOTE: This creates a filter where only the included camera types are included 
   as an option in this profile.

   
   
7. Toggle the FoV button to further filter your cameras based on Horizontal field of view, Installation height, Target Distance, Tilt angle and Density of pixels per foot (ppf) at a specified distance.
   
   
   In this example, we have two new profiles based on different scene activity levels.
   
   
8. Click the ellipsis to make it the default profile for all new cameras, or to clone it. Or click Default.
   
   
   
   

   NOTE: You can delete a profile as long as it is not in use by a camera.
