Exporting Videos

The export options are shown in the figure below:

 

 

Cameras: Select the cameras you want to export. If you select more than one camera, the videos will be exported simultaneously and synchronously.

Start Time: Start date for the export. The export needs a start and end time to be set. This time can be filled in according to the selection in the timeline (blue bar).

End Time: End date for the export. The export needs a start and end time to be set. This time can be filled in according to the selection in the timeline (blue bar).

Export format: The system has several formats for the exported video. Choose the format that best suits your operation:

oNative: This is the recommended video format, as an exact copy of the system database is exported. With this type of export, the system automatically creates media with a video player identical to the system's native player and with all its features, including the video authenticity watermark. This format supports encryption and the system will also export the bookmarks along with the video. The limitation of this format is that you will need a computer with a Windows operating system to play the video.

oMP4: Exports the video in MP4 format, compatible with most video players and operating systems.

oAVI: Exports the video in AVI format, which can be played in any video player that supports the Codec used in the export. This export format is not the most recommended, as the images will be compressed and the exporting process will be slow.

oJPEG: Exports the video (Video only) in independent JPEG images. You can use this format to make a Time-Lapse video.

oWAV: Exports the audio (Audio only) in WAV format.

Limit Media Size: By selecting this option, the system will automatically split the exported video into the size specified in this field. During export, several folders will be created whose files will have the maximum size specified. This option is useful if you want to save the video on removable media that is limited in size.
