Archiving recorded files
Archive recorded files on an external device such as a USB flash drive, USB HDDs,
eSATA HDD or a DVD writer.
Before starting to archive files, ensure that you have the backup device connected to
the recorder. It can be detected automatically by the recorder.
It is important that the external storage device is set to the Export option in order to be
able to archive. See “Using an external recording device” on page 85.
Note: The USB port on the rear panel does not support USB CD/DVD burners or USB
HDDs.
Archiving files
There are two ways to archive files:
Quick Archive: Quick archive lets you archive recorded files quickly by using the
Archive button on the front panel. The recorder then downloads all the recorded files on
the unit to fill the available memory space on the media. This option is not available via
the mouse.
Advanced Search screen: You can specify archiving settings such as a specific time
and date period, recording type, start and end times, as well as cameras.
Using Quick Archive
To archive recorded video using Quick Archive:
1. Insert the backup device into the recorder .
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
recorder , the USB device takes
precedence over the others.
2. Press Archive on the front panel or remote control to open the quick archive
screen.
