SAVING A FILE
This process lets you back up the files you’ve selected. If you want to back up a lot of files, please see
the next section. Once you have backed up these files to an external USB device they can be played
back on a computer.
You must have a USB device connected to the USB port on the front of the DVR before proceeding.
STEP 1. In your file list to the right of the
playback screen, check the box next to the
file(s) you wish to save.
STEP 2. Click on the Backup button (item
b in Picture 3.2-4) and the Backup
window will open.
STEP 3. Your device will be listed at the top of
the window showing how much space is
available. Below it, the list of file(s) you wish
to back up will be displayed along with
type, start and end times and size. At the
bottom of the window, the space required
to save the file(s) will be displayed. You
may uncheck any files you do not wish to
back up at this time. The Remove button
will remove all the files from your list.
STEP 4. Choose the video format you want
to save your file(s) in - .AVI or .DAT. Files
saved as .AVI can be played in most video
playback programs.
STEP 5. Press Start to back up your selected
files.
NOTE! If the video files are in .DAT format, they will not play outside the DVR
without being converted to .avi format using the included General Player
software available for free download at Q-See.com by searching for your
model number and looking under Software. This software can also convert
the .DAT files to .AVI
Right-clicking the mouse will exit this window without saving the files.
Right-clicking with the mouse will also exit the playback window.
