    No
    NameExport agentIf necessary, change the name of the export object name
    Object features
    Folder for video
    Specify the full path to the folders for storing exported frames and videos. If you specify network folders, you must also set the Username and Password of the user who has access to this network storage
    Folder for frames
    Video file format

    From the drop-down list, select the file format for the exported video

    Note
    titleAttention!

    If you export videos from the fisheye camera in the MKVMP4,or AVI formats, then the selected camera area is exported in the layout interface.





    MKV

    Videos are exported in the MKV format without recompression

    AVI

    Videos are exported in the AVI or MP4 format with recompression by the selected video codec in the settings. Due to recompression, export can take much more time than in other formats. Also, the load on the CPU increases, especially when you export several files at a time

    MP4
    EXE

    When you export videos in the EXE format, the compilation of the executable file is performed. The executable file contains a video, the tools for its playback, and required codecs. When you export in the EXE format, note the Windows OS limitation due to which you cannot run executable files larger than 4 GB. When you export videos from the fisheye camera, the entire panoramic view, which you can rotate to the required viewing angle in the player, is exported

    Image file format
    JPEGFrom the drop-down list, select the file format for the exported frame. The default format is JPEG
    PDF
    Password file protection
    Set a password if you want to export in the encrypted archive of the ZIP format. When you export in the EXE format, you must enter a password when you open a file
    Authorization for network folder
    Username
    Enter the name of the user that who has access to the network storage
    Password
    Enter the password of the user that who has access to the network storage
    Video quality
    Video codecFrom the drop-down list, select the required video codec format




    DefaultWhen you export a video, the source codec that was used during the initial recording to the archive is saved
    MPEG4It provides good image quality at a relatively low bit rate. It is widely used for videos and the video stream
    MJPEG

    It is a sequence of JPEG images that are transmitted as a video stream. Each frame is encoded separately. It has a large file size compared to other codecs, which leads to high network bandwidth requirements

    Note
    titleAttention!

    Exported videos in the MP4 format with the MJPEG codec aren't supported in the MPC-HC player.

    h264It provides high image quality at a relatively small file size in comparison with MPEG4 and MJPEG
    Compression levelFrom the drop-down list, select the required compression level for the exported video 








    DefaultWhen you export a video, the source compression level that was used during the initial recording to the archive is saved
    Minimum levelThe higher the compression level, the lower the detailing and image quality, which reduces the amount of data during transmission and storage

    Low level
    Medium/Low
    Medium level
    Medium/High
    High level
    Maximum level
    Frame frequencyFrom the drop-down list, select the required frame rate




    Original frame rateThe value is set by default. When you export a video, its original frame rate is saved, providing the maximum quality and accuracy of playback
    1/2The frame rate of the exported video is two times lower than the original one
    1/4The frame rate of the exported video is four times lower than the original one
    1/8The frame rate of the exported video is eight times lower than the original one
    Video resolution
    Select the required video resolution from the drop-down list











    OriginalThe default value. When you export a video, its original resolution is preserved. The video isn't re-encoded
    320×240 (4:3 240p)
    • If the selected resolution exceeds the original in both height and width, the export is performed as Original.
    • If the selected resolution exceeds the original on only one side, the video is resized to fit within the specified boundaries while maintaining the aspect ratio. Example:
      • 1280х680  1280х720=1280х680
      • 3840×2160 (4K UHD 2160p)  1024х768 (4:3 XGA)=1024x576
    426×240 (16:9 240p)
    640×360 (16:9 360p)
    640×480 (4:3 480p)
    854×480 (16:9 480p)
    1024×768 (4:3 XGA)
    1280×720 (HD 720p)
    1920×1080 (Full HD 1080p)
    2560×1440 (2K QHD 1440p)
    3840×2160 (4K UHD 2160p)
    Video special options
    Frame skipping, fps0Set the required value of frame skipping per second. This parameter is used to achieve the very low frame rate. For all frames except Frame skipping, fps0Set the required value of frame skipping per second. This parameter is used to achieve the very low frame rate. For all frames except for MJPEG,frame skipping is applied only to key frames, with the rate not exceeding the set value. For example, the 0.05 fps FPS setting is equivalent to three frames per minute. The value must be in the range [0, 120]
    Video speed0If you want to change the speed of the exported video, you must set the speed rate. The value must be in the range [0, 128]. You can enter fractionalvalues. The value must be in the range [0, 2592000]
