The standard export of the video recordings is performed according to the following procedure:
You can set the start and end time of the exported interval using the calendar (2). The days on which the recording to the archive was made are highlighted with a blue frame.
If necessary, specify a different file format into which you want to export the video recording (3). Video recordings can be exported into the following 4 formats: MP4, MKV, EXE and AVI.
Video recordings are exported into the MKV format without recompression. Video recordings are exported into the AVI format with recompression by the codec selected in the settings. Export into the AVI format may take longer because of recompression. In addition, the AVI format export increases the CPU load, especially when you export several files at once (see Simultaneous export of video from multiple cameras, Exporting all event videos). When video recordings are exported into the EXE format, an executable file is compiled, containing video recording, playback tools, and necessary codecs. When exporting into the EXE format, note that Windows OS does not allow launching executable files of more than 4 GB. |
If you export video recordings from the fish-eye camera in the EXE format, the entire panoramic view is exported, that can be rotated to the desired angle of view in the player. If the export is performed in the MKV, MP4 or AVI formats, the selected section on the camera in the layout interface is exported. |
If you want to export into the encrypted ZIP archive, set the archive password (5). When exporting into the EXE format, you will need to enter the password when you open the file.
Setting a password will be mandatory, if this condition is set in the user role settings (see Creating and configuring roles). |
If there is a masked object in the exported video recording (see Setting up privacy masking in Video Footage), then if you have the appropriate access rights, you can export the unmasked video recording. To do this, select the value from the Masked areas drop-down list (7).
Enter the username and the password of the supervisor who confirms the launch of the export (8).
Entering the supervisor password is only required if this is set in the access rights settings (see Creating and configuring roles). If the confirmation is not required for the export, these fields will not be displayed in the window. |
The export process starts. The progress is displayed on the export panel (see Viewing export progress).
You can stop export at any time by clicking the Stop button. |
The duration of the exported file can be longer than the specified duration, because the key frame is not always at the beginning of the export interval. |
