Selecting video source

AviExport utility is designed for exporting main archive as well as backup archive or video gate archive or edge storage archive (see General information on working with archives).

Video source is selected from the Video source drop-down list.

The following items may be available in the list:

1. VideoServer – export main archive.
2. Archiver – export Backup archive.
3. Gate – export Video Gate archive.
4. Edge storage – export archive from Edge Storage.

If no Video gate or Backup archive or Edge Storage is selected for any of cameras added to the list for export (see Selecting and configuring video cameras) when configuring Surveillance monitor, then corresponding list items are not available to be selected. Information on how to select cameras on the video monitor is given in the Selecting and configuring video cameras section of Administrator’s Guide).

If Video gate is in use but its archive is not recorded and the Gate source is selected, the main archive of the Video Server is exported instead of the Video Gate archive.
