Operation Instruction

CAUTION: The USB device for clip copy must be FAT 16 or FAT32 format.

The DVR automatically assigns a file name to the video clip. However, you can give the video clip file a different name. Highlight the box beside File Name and press the button. A virtual keyboard appears. Enter a file name for the video you are backing up and select Close. The DVR will automatically add the camera number (for example “01”) and “.exe” to the file name.

NOTE: When naming a file, you cannot use the following characters: \, /, :, *, ?, “, <, >, .

Highlight Include Text-In Data and press the button. This will toggle between On and Off. When this feature is On, you can include text-in data when copying video if the video was recorded with text-in data.

Highlight Use Site Info and press the button. This will toggle between On and Off. When this feature is On, you can add the site information to the file name for the video you are backing up.

NOTE: When the site information is added to the file name, some special characters (\, /, :, *, ?, “, <, >, ) in the site information will be converted to “_”.

Once you have given the video clip a file name, highlight the Start button and press the button. The confirmation screen displaying data size will appear. When the storage device does not have enough space, the DVR will ask if you want to copy as much of the video clip as possible in the available space. Highlight the Continue button and press the button to continue clip copy.

Once the clip copy starts, you can cancel it by selecting Cancel or hide the screen by selecting Close. When selecting Close, Clip Copy continues and a confirmation screen will display when complete.

NOTE: The file size for clip copy is limited to 30GB. When copying video clips larger than 2GB, the video clips will be save in units of 2GB. For example, 3 individual 2GB files will be created when saving a 6GB video clip. However, the file size for the One-Touch Clip Copy is limited to 2GB.

You can use other functions on the DVR while video is being backed up. To do this, highlight the Close button and press the button. You can return to the Clip-Copyscreen at any time to check the progress.

You do not need to install any special software on your personal computer to review the video clips. Refer to Speco Central Operation Instruction for instructions on how to review video clips you have copied.

NOTE: During Clip Copy, you cannot shut the system down, clear data on the storage device, or format the storage device.

CAUTION: Do NOT disconnect the USB cable or the power from the external drive while copying video clips. If the external drive is shut down or the USB cable is disconnected while copying video clips, THE DVR SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK NORMALLY OR THE EXTERNAL DRIVE COULD BE DAMAGED, and you will get an error message the next time you try to copy video clips. You will need to power down the DVR and restart it to get rid of the error message. Once the file system of the USB hard disk drive has been corrupted, this error message cannot be dismissed. Even after restarting the DVR it may automatically restart while preparing to clip copy. You must recover the file system using the recovery program, or you must reformat the hard disk drive.
