TAKING SCREENSHOTS

ATTENTION: 8/16-channel models only.

If your system has 8 or 16 channels, you can take screenshots (screen captures) of the main display of your system. You can take a screenshot at any time: during live viewing, search, and playback, or in any system menu. Screenshots are useful if you need to provide a still image of your security footage to the authorities.

NOTE: A USB flash drive must be connected and formatted to the system in order to take screenshots.

To take a screenshot:

1.Connect a USB flash drive (not included) to the USB port on the front panel of the system. Format the USB flash drive if you have not already done so. For more details, see “Formatting the USB Drive” on page 38.

2.If you want to capture a point in live viewing or playback, select the display view for the screenshot: single, quad, or split-screen.

3.Click . The screenshot will appear in the centre of the main display, followed by the file name. Screenshots are saved to the Picture folder on the USB flash drive.
