Select Security Systems Installation, and download the pre-defined import template associated with the classification of the devices (security camera, access panel, card reader, etc.)

Fill out all applicable data and save the file.

The minimum fields needed are ID and Name

ID – The unique ID that will be associated with the device. This can be used to update device information during future imports.
