selected, you can only play the backup files at the computer installed with GV-System or Geo

multiple events on the Video Event list, and right-click to select Backup. The Select Backup Time
dialog box will then appear, and you can follow the steps described above to back up files without

Note:
1. If you are unable to record a CD, make sure the CD recording is enabled in your CD burner:
open My Computer, right-click the CD Drive icon, click Properties, click the Recording tab,
and then check Enable CD recording on the drive.
2. The Export to DVD Format option, at the right bottom of the Backup dialog box (Figure 5-2),
outputs your files in DVD movie format, meaning that it will play in any DVD player that supports
writable DVD disks. To enable this option, MPEG2 files recorded by the GV-2004 Card /
GV-2008 Card need to be selected first (see the Select Camera(s) option), and a DVD±RW disk
is required as well.
