click [OK], the search will execute. When it 
finishes, you can go into its [File List], or [Play] 
function as desired. 
Attention: A motion search produces temporary 
files that are intended to narrow down a search to 
find a particular incident. When any new search is 
performed, the last list of motion search files will be 
lost. Be sure to take note of the camera/time 
details, or immediately mark the desired motion 
file(s) and copy them to another location.

Note: Because of their location, 'motion-found' files 
cannot be backed up (only copied to another 
location). 
File Location: The motion search files are stored at 
each specific server PC (even when searching 
remotely) under: d:\Dsr-Postmotion\image\server 
\camera\date\, where "d" is the drive letter specified 
under "Recording Setup". 
Related Topic: 17.2.1 Drive Usage  
Remote Software: If doing a motion search through 
the remote software for files on that same remote 
PC, the drive containing the operating system is 
used (typically "C:\..."). 
7.5.3 
Using "Motion Search" 
Prerequisite: Perform a search using
