Configuring export includes:

  • setting the default destination folders for exported files,
  • setting the default formats for the export of video and snapshots,
  • configuring export of video in AVI format,
  • configuring the template for the export of snapshots in PDF format,
  • other export settings.

Configure export as follows:

  1. Go to System settings → Options (1) → Export (2).

  2. In the Path to the folder for exporting a snapshot (3) and Path to the folder for exporting video recording (4), enter the full path to the folders in which the exported files should be saved. To do this, click the button.

    Attention!

    During export you can specify any path. These fields also allow you to specify the name template for the exported files, as follows:

    • {0}—camera ID;
    • {1}—camera name;
    • {2}—date;
    • {3}—time;
    • {4}—recording duration (for video export only).

  3. Select the default formats for export of video and snapshots (5). You can select any available format during export. Snapshots can be exported in two formats: JPG and PDF. Videos can be exported into the following four formats: MP4, MKV, EXE and AVI.

    Note

    • Video is exported to MKV format without recompression.
    • Video is exported to AVI format with recompression in the selected codec (7).
    • When video is exported to EXE format, a self-contained executable file is generated, containing video, playback tools, and necessary codecs.
  4. If you want to export to an encrypted ZIP archive, set an archive password (6). If you export to EXE format, you will need to enter a password when you open the file. 
  5. Specify settings for video export to AVI format:
    1. Select a codec (7):
      1. MPEG4,
      2. MGPEG,
      3. h264. 
    2. Select video image quality (8):
      1. Minimum level,
      2. Low level,
      3. Medium/Low,
      4. Medium level,
      5. Medium/High,
      6. High level,
      7. Maximum level.

  6. If you want to superimpose captions in the exported video, set the Export date, time and titles for AVI checkbox (9). When exporting to MKV format, captions are always added, you can disable them when playing back.

  7. Configure the template to export snapshots to PDF format:
    When exporting, a PDF document consists of three sections: a comment specified during export; exported image; date and time of the snapshot.
    1. Select the font and set its color (10).
    2. If necessary, select a PNG image that will be used as a background of the PDF document (11).
    3. Select document layout (12):

      1. Portrait,

      2. Landscape.

    4. Configure the size of the sections and their position on the page.

      Note

      You can change the size and position of a section in the same way as working with windows in Windows OS.

  8. You can watermark the exported files as follows:

    Attention!

    The watermark settings are applied to the entire Domain.

    1. Select a file with a watermark (13). PNG, JPEG, BMP images are allowed.
    2. Set the opacity of the watermark: 100%—opaque, 0%—transparent (14).
    3. Set the location of the watermark (15). To do this, specify the border of the watermarked area on each side of the frame as percentage of the frame size. The top left corner should be taken as the origin point.
      For example, with the default values (Left 0, Top 0, Right 100, Bottom 100), the specified area will take the entire frame, and the watermark will be located in the center of the image. To place the watermark in a corner, specify the following values:
      1. for the top-left corner—Left 0, Top 0, Right watermark width as percentage of the frame width, Bottom watermark height as percentage of the frame height;
      2.  for the bottom-left corner—Left 0, Top 100 minus watermark height as percentage of the frame height, Right watermark width as percentage of the frame width, Bottom 100;

      3.  for the top-right corner—Left 100 minus watermark width as percentage of the frame width, Top 0, Right 100, Bottom watermark height as percentage of the frame height;

      4. for the bottom-right corner—Left 100 minus watermark width as percentage of the frame width, Top 100 minus watermark height as percentage of the frame height, Right 100, Bottom 100.

  9. Select a frame rate for the exported video on one of the following ways:

    1. From the Video recording frame rate drop-down list (16), select the value:

      1. Original frame rate,

      2. 1/2—the frame rate in the exported video recording will be two times lower than the original frame rate,

      3. 1/4—the frame rate in the exported video recording will be four times lower than the original frame rate,

      4. 1/8—the frame rate in the exported video recording will be eight times lower than the original frame rate.

    2. Set the frame rate per second manually (18). The value must be in the range [1; 300].

      Note

      The minimum frame rate in the exported video is 1 FPS.

  10. Set the maximum size of the exported video recording in MB (17). When the specified size is reached, a new file will be created.

    Attention!

    • If you set the 0 value, the export will always be to a single file.
    • The minimum value is 5 MB.
    • Due to Windows OS limitations, you cannot export files of more than 4 Gb to EXE format.
  11. If it is necessary to change the speed of the exported video recording, in the Speed field (19), set the speed-up factor from 0 to 128. You can enter fractional values. For example, if you set 10 for the original 10-minute video recording, it will be exported to a 1-minute recording.
  12. Click the Apply button.

Export configuration is now complete.
