Create and archive video clips
You can save important scenes in a recorded file for later reference by creating video
clips of selected portions of the file during playback. When an intruder, for example,
crosses in front of several cameras you can save the video clip of the intruder’s path
across these cameras in a single file.
Note: This feature is only available using the mouse.
To export video clips during playback:
1. Connect the backup device to the recorder.
2. Search for the required files to play back. See “Search and play back recordings by
time and video type” on page 30
3. Select the file or files to play back and click Play. Playback starts immediately.
4. Click the playback timeline where you want the video clip to start and click the Start
Clipping button.
5. Click the playback timeline where you want the video clip to stop and click the End
Clipping button.
6. Repeat for additional clips.
7. Exit playback mode. A message appears asking if you want to save the video clips.
8. Click Yes to archive the clips. The File Management window appears.
Click No to exit and return to the search results window. The clips are not saved.
9. In the File Management window click Archive. In the Archive window that appears,
select from the drop-down list the backup device to be used. If you are using a USB
3.0 compatible device, it is recommended to use the USB on the back panel.
Note: The Player tool is automatically saved with the file unless the option is
deselected.
