CAPTURING A SNAPSHOT (STILL IMAGE)

All snapshots are saved in a default folder called “images,” which is created automatically on a USB device. You must attach a USB device to the DVR5100 before you capture a snapshot. If a USB device is not attached, an error message appears and the snapshot is not saved.

To capture a snapshot:

1.Attach a USB device to the unit in any of the USB ports.

2.Select a video pane that is displaying video from which you want to capture a snapshot, and then do one of the following:

Press the Print Scrn key.

Press the “X” key [or the Quick Export function button ] to display the Quick Export menu (refer to Figure 39), and then select Snapshot.

Press the “S” key [or the yellow function button ] to display the Quick Search menu, and then select Snapshot.

3.Select Close to close the Quick Export or Quick Search menu.

NOTE: You can also capture a snapshot by selecting Search/Export from the Main menu, and then selecting Snapshot.
