Shepherd

Shepherd, embedded with powerful device management functions, can easily set up multiple cameras simultaneously. The software automatically brings up a list of all VIVOTEK devices that are connected on the network. The user can then manually group the cameras to apply pre-configured settings. Shepherd supports various powerful functions, including: IP-address assignment, remote reboot/restore, and firmware and VADP package upload. Shepherd greatly benefits system integrators and installers who often have projects that require the simultaneous set up of multiple cameras with the same settings. The latest Shepherd version supports batch uploading of firmware and exporting device lists for VIVOTEK NVRs, updating virus signatures for cameras equipped with the Trend Micro IoT Security package, and importing / exporting Stereo Tracker, Deep Learning VCA and VCA package configurations.
