Archiving files
There are two ways to archive files:
Quick Archive button: Quick archive lets you archive recorded files quickly by
using the Archive button on the front panel. The recorder then downloads all the
recorded files on the unit to fill the available memory space on the media. This
option is not available via the mouse.
Advanced Search window: Use the Export command in the Advanced Search
window to specify archiving settings such as a specific time and date period as
well as cameras.
Using Quick Archive
To archive recorded video using Quick Archive:
1. Insert the backup device into the recorder.
If using a USB memory drive, insert the device into the USB port on the front
panel. If using a digital video disk (DVD), insert the disc into the DVD drive. If
more than one media type is found, the USB device takes precedence over
the others.
2. Press Archive on the front panel or remote control to open the quick archive
window.
