To create stand-alone G64, ASF, and MP4 video files that you can play without
connecting to Security Center, you can export from any
task in Security
Desk that displays live or
playback video.
What you should know
- When you export a G64, ASF, or MP4 video, the system does not
include additional file information, such as camera name, creation date, and camera
coordinates, which can be useful for investigation. To include additional file
information, export the file as
G64x.
- If you lack the Single user export privilege, a second user with the Export
video privilege must authorize the export.
- If another export process is running, your export is queued and starts when the current
export has finished.
Procedure
-
From the Security Desk home page, open any task that can display live or playback
video.
-
Select the video to export.
NOTE: Privacy protection is not removed from video streams during export. To export
protected streams without blurring or anonymization, users with the Remove privacy
protection privilege must remove privacy protection from the required streams
before they click Export video.
The
Export settings dialog box opens:
-
Set the date, time, and duration of the selected video sequences:
-
Click the date, time, or duration setting.
-
Enter the date and time for the start and end of the sequence, or drag the time
range markers () to the desired length of time.
NOTE: You can set a maximum time range of 24 hours.
-
(Optional) To export a video sequence from a specific source, click All
sources and select the source to export from.
-
If required, update the name of the video file in the Filename
field.
By default, the file name includes the camera name, the date, and the duration of the
video sequence.
NOTE: Multiple video sequences exported at the same time are each saved as
a separate file with a unique file name.
-
(Optional) To save the video file in a specific subfolder of the Vault, click
Vault and create or select a subfolder.
-
In the File format list, select G64 (compatibility
mode), ASF, or MP4.
-
(Optional) If you have a KiwiVision™
Privacy Protector™ license, select
Add privacy protection to pixelate motion in the exported video.
This privacy protection is always applied using default settings.
-
Click Export.
If you do not have the Single user export privilege, the
Authorization window opens, and a second user with the Export
video privilege must enter their credentials to authorize the export.
The export progress is shown in the notification tray (
). To view the current progress or troubleshoot exporting errors,
click
More or
Show details to open the
Export dialog box.
If another export process is running, your
export is queued and starts when the previous export has finished. When your export is
complete, the video files are created in the export folder that you specified, and the
files are available in the Vault.
