Abstract: A camera configuration tool that facilitates a method for configuring and managing Internet Protocol (IP) cameras across a network. A software program scans a network to discover a plurality of IP cameras, wherein camera data for each of the plurality of IP cameras is retrieved and added to a camera table as a camera item that is selectable. Through a graphical user interface, a user can then manage and configure the plurality of IP cameras. A web interface access request, restart request, live feed request, and reset request can be sent to a specific camera from the plurality of IP cameras through the graphical user interface in addition to adjusting image settings and transmission settings, and uploading a firmware file to the specific camera. The camera data for the plurality of IP cameras can also be exported to a video management software, spreadsheet file, or text file.
