Archiving recorded files
Archive recorded files on an external device such as a USB flash drives, USB
HDDs, eSATA HDD or a DVD writer. You must be in live view mode to archive
video. Access to archive commands may require a password.
Before starting to archive files, ensure that you have the backup device
connected to the DVR. It can be detected automatically by the DVR.
Note: The USB port on the back panel does not support USB CD/DVD burners
or USB HDDs.
Archiving files
There are three ways to archive files from live view:
Quick Archive button: Quick archive lets you archive recorded files quickly by
using the Archive button on the front panel. The TVR 42 then downloads all the
recorded files on the unit to fill the available memory space on the storage media.
This option is not available via the mouse.
Advanced Search window: Use the Export command in the Advanced Search
window to specify archiving settings such as a specific time and date period,
recording type, start and end times, as well as cameras.
Auto archive: You can schedule when to automatically archive recorded files.
Using Quick Archive
To archive recorded video using Quick Archive:
1. Insert the backup device into the DVR.
If using a USB memory drive, insert the device into the USB port on the front
panel. If using a digital video disk (DVD) or eSATA drive, insert the disc into
the DVD drive. If more than one media type is found in the TVR 42, the USB
device takes precedence over the others.
2. Press Archive on the front panel or remote control to open the quick archive
window.
