If the added device such as an access control device, video intercom device, and encoding device has been configured with person information, you can get person information from the device and import it to the system for further operations. The person information that can be imported to the system includes person name, profile, credentials (PIN codes, cards, and fingerprints), effective period, person roles (super user and the disabled), etc.

2. Set the device type as access control device, video intercom device, encoding device, or facial recognition server.
3. Check one or more devices from the device list.
   Note:

   You can enter a key word (supports fuzzy search) in the search box to search the target device(s) quickly.

4. Select a person group to import the persons to.
5. Optional: Check Replace Profile to replace the existed person profile with the new one.
