5.1 Backup Footage to USB
5. Footage Backup & Viewing
Should you wish to preserve recorded footage before it is overwritten, you will need to perform a footage backup.
Footage can be exported from your DVR in a
.DAV
or
.MP4
file. A .DAV file will require conversion for sharing, whereas
an .MP4 file is compatible with most video players on Windows or Mac PCs. Each file type is covered in Section 5.2.
There are two different ways to backup footage to USB: via the
Search
menu through searching playback footage; and
by performing a direct backup via the
Backup
menu. Both are accessed via the
Main Menu
.
NOTE:
Backup file type (
.DAV/.MP4
) selection is only available in the
Backup
menu. Backup in
Search
Menu outputs
.DAV
files only.
