Export Recorded Video

You can export video evidence to your local computer or removable media, in a video file.

• Perform a search to find the video you want to export (see Search/View Archive Video).

Tip: Start and end points can be set after you select the Export Video button.

• When export is complete, the extracted video clip(s) are available as Local Files on the Resource Tree. AVI and MKV files are shown as a single record, EXE and NOV files are contained in a folder. EXE files will display the exported time range in a new tab, and single camera and Bookmarks are displayed as a single item.
