Creating MXU Files for Imports

It needs to adhere to the following format for a simple import of cameras:

• Unformatted UTF-8 text
• One or more camera lines with the following structure:
  Name<TAB>IP<TAB>Username<TAB>Password<CR LF/LF>
• Elements in a camera line need to use TABs as separators.
• Line breaks are either CR LF (Windows) or LF (UNIX).
• Comment lines are preceded by a //.
• Camera names need to be unique and cameras using the same name will not be added more than once.

Example:

				Main Entrance   10.6.37.25   admin   meinsm
				Side Entrance   10.6.15.206  admin   meinsm
			Entrance Gate   10.6.23.132  admin   meinsm

Expanded Format

The file needs to use the following format for the advanced import of cameras, groups, clips and settings for graphics and grid view:

• First line always #EXTMXU
• Any additional commands must start with #EXT. Parameters use “:” as separators.
  Example:#EXTGROUP:Doorstations
