Standard export of video takes place as follows:
You can set the start and end time of the exported episode in the calendar (2).
If necessary, specify a different file format for exporting the video (3). Videos can be exported into the following 4 formats: MP4, MKV, EXE and AVI.
Note.
Video is exported in MKV format without recompression.
Video is exported in AVI format with recompression in the selected codec (see point 4). Export to AVI files may take longer time because of recompression.
In addition, AVI export increases CPU load, especially when you export several files at once (see Simultaneous export of video from multiple cameras, Exporting all event videos).
When video is exported in EXE format, a self-contained executable file is generated, containing video, playback tools, and necessary codecs.
When exporting to EXE format, please note that Windows does not allow launching executable files of more than 4 Gb.
If you want to export to an encrypted zip archive, set a password (4). If you are exporting an .exe file, you will need to enter a password when you open the file.
Attention!
This setting may be overridden by the user role settings (see Creating and configuring roles).
To export unmasked videos from the Video Footage, the user must have appropriate access rights. To perform such an export, check the View masked video box (7).
Enter the credentials of the supervisor who confirms the launch of export (8).
Note
The supervisor enters their password only if it is required by user rights settings. If no export confirmation is required, these fields will not be displayed.
The export process begins. Progress is shown on the export panel (see the Viewing export progress section).
Note.
You can stop export at any time by clicking the Stop button.
Note.
The duration of the exported file can be longer than the specified one, because the keyframe is not always at the beginning of the export interval.
