You can export all details and attached entities related to an incident to a folder or
a .zip file in order to share it with other parties. The export can be
issued from any Security Desk task that displays
incidents.
What you should know
Exported incidents are stored in the Vault, at the same location as your snapshots and
exported video files.
For information on how to set up the Vault, see Video options in Security Desk.
Procedure
-
Do one of the following:
- In either the Incident monitoring or Incident
report task, right-click an incident in the list or on the map, and then
click Export incident.
- In either the Incident monitoring or Incident
report task, click an incident in the list or on the map, and then in the
incident details pane, click Actions (
) and
click Export incident.
- In the Monitoring task, click a tile that displays an
incident, and then in the incident details pane, click Actions
(
) and click Export incident.
The
Export incident dialog box appears.
-
Configure the export settings as needed:
- Folder
- Name of the incident export folder. This folder contains all the documents
associated to the incident: PDF, XML, video, snapshots, and so on. By default, the
folder name is the incident type followed by the incident ID.
- Additional export format
-
- None
- (Default) All incident details displayed in the incident details pane are
saved to an XML document. The XML document is used for data mining by
third-party applications.
- PDF
- Incident details are saved to both an XML document and PDF document.
- HTML
- Incident details are saved to both an XML document and HTML document.
- Compress output
- Save the incident export folder to the Vault as a
.zip file. By default, this option is cleared.
- Delete intermediary file(s)
- Delete the export folder after the export is completed, and only keep the
.zip file. By default, this option is cleared.
- Encrypt files
- Protect the .zip file with a password. By default, this
option is cleared. If your .zip file is
password-protected, you must enter the password every time you open a file
contained in the incident export folder.
- Export current map view
- Include a .jpg snapshot of the current map view in the
incident export folder. By default, this option is selected. This option is not
available if the export is issued from the Monitoring task or
the map mode in the Incident report task.
- Export event snapshots
- Include a .jpg snapshot of every camera associated to the
events linked to the incident. By default, this option is selected. The snapshot is
taken when the event occurs. A linked event can be the event that triggered the
incident, or any event that is aggregated to the incident through the incident
automation workflow.
- Export video for aggregated events
- Export the video from cameras attached
to the events aggregated to the incident. By default, this option is
selected. You can configure the following options:
- Playback offset
- Duration of video, in seconds, shown leading up to an event when you view an
event in a tile. The default playback offset value is 60 seconds. You can set
the value to 0 - 120 seconds.
- Duration
- Length of the exported video.
- File format
- File format for the export.
- Export related videos
- This option appears if there are cameras directly attached to the incident. By
default, this option is selected. You can adjust the date, time, and duration of
each attached video sequence. The controls are the same as when you export video.
