Creating a CD-ROM with Video Files
1. Set the digital video recorder for Selective Archive operation.
2. Open the search menu of the DVR and select the file(s) for archiving.
• Be aware that a CD can hold only about 550 MB (including housekeeping restrictions, while there are several
Gigabytes in the digital recorder).
• If the search shows a file that is larger than this, it will be necessary to filter the search (place tighter restrictions on
it) until the search results return a file size that can be archived.
• When multiple small files are selected for archive, the total available space on the CD must be less than 550 MB.
• CD archiving supports multiple sequential recording sessions. This allows the recording of a video clip, ejecting
the CD, inserting the same CD at a later time for the recording of sequential video clip(s).
3. Initiate Archiving.
• While the CD-writer is recording, the DVR unit indicates the progress of the CD-write operation.
• While the CD-RW is still in the CD-writer, multiple files can be recorded onto the CD-RW medium.

played back from a PC running the remote viewer software.
• Background archiving to CD disk is not supported.
