TG - F3x0-F/4x0-F/MicroHAWK MV - Copy a Cloudlink/WebMonitor Dashboard Layout to another Fxx0-F or MicroHAWK MV Smart Vision Camera

Purpose

Transfer the layout of a custom dashboard in Cloudlink/WebMonitor from one MicroHAWK MV or F4x0-F smart

vision camera to an equivalent smart camera.

Problem Explanation/Objective

Once a user has configured Cloudlink/WebMonitor to function exactly as they desire, they may want to replicate that

exact same Dashboard layout on multiple other cameras. This procedure provides a method to consistently accomplish this task without having to replicate the layout from memory and risk missing a step.

Supported devices

• MicroHAWK MV-series Smart Vision Cameras
• F3x0-F series Smart Vision Cameras
• F4x0-F series Smart Vision Cameras

Requirements

• Compatible Smart Vision Camera
• FTP client software (ex. FileZilla)

Procedure

1. First, connect the vision camera directly to your PC.

2. Next, open an FTP client such as FileZilla (which was used for this example) and establish a

connection to the camera. In the case of FileZilla, below are the settings to use:

Host = IP address of the camera.

Username = target

Password = password

3. Once the correct connection settings are entered, click “Quickconnect”.

4. Next, navigate to /sd0:0/http_mv/user/hmi as shown in the screenshot above.

5. Next, copy layout.json to a new save location (such as your Desktop) for use later. THIS is the file

containing your desired Dashboard layout.

6. To transfer to a new camera, simply follow these instructions and copy your save layout.json file to

the same location on the new camera. Your desired Dashboard should now be present on the new

camera.
