An Ajax system allows PROs to create templates for applying several settings at once. You can apply templates to video device, hub, and intrusion device settings, enabling faster system configuration and reducing manual setup time.
This functionality is available only to companies. No more than 100 templates can be created for one company.
How to create a template
The Company owner, Senior CMS Engineer, and Head of installers can create a template using the Ajax PRO Desktop app.
