[0003] In common operations, camera testing and configuration are usually two separate processes. Testing generally uses a general camera calling tool to call each camera separately to detect whether the camera preview display is normal; while configuration requires confirming the name and PIDVID of each camera, and configuring each type of camera to the corresponding configuration file.

[0004] The camera name and PIDVID are usually checked through the system device manager and need to be extracted from the device information. This process is inconvenient to copy and requires technicians to manually perform a large number of operations and confirmations. After the configuration is completed, it is also necessary to test in the application system to verify whether the configuration is normal. Although this solution can complete basic testing and configuration work, it is inefficient and not suitable for large-scale rapid deployment.
