You can import multiple Vehicles into VideoProtects Fleet Management System at once by downloading a template, filling in vehicle information, and then uploading it into VideoProtects.

First, go to Vehicles in the left menu.

Next, fill out the template with at least the required information (Vehicle Name).

Import Notes:

Drivers, Device Serial #s, and Locations must already be added into VideoProtects in order to assign them to the vehicle.
For information such as Driver Id and Assigned Location, what you enter in the template must match exactly what is in VideoProtects. For example, the Assigned Driver below (TuckersTruck) is exactly how it was entered into VideoProtects previously.
It isn't required that you assign a driver, location, or camera via the template. You can update those after the vehicle import if desired. (See Assign Driver to a Vehicle, Managing Locations, or Pairing and Unpairing a Camera to a Vehicle for more information.)

Import Example:
