When you play it back, you will play back all of the video simultaneously. When you search for video by an event, the DX4000 lists each recording separately. When you play it back, you play back the video simultaneously in four-channel mode. Use the num- bered channel buttons to view video from only one channel.

BACKING UP VIDEO

Figure 59. Back Up Menu

The Back Up menu is used to copy recorded video from the DX4000 to a backup device, usually to a writable CD (CD-RW) or DVD (DVD-RW). If your unit does not have a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive, you can back up video to a USB flash memory device so long as it has sufficient storage space for the recorded video clip. The following settings appear on the Back Up menu:

•Device: Select the device to which the video will be copied. If “No Backup Device” appears, your unit does not contain any writable media in either the CD-RW drive, DVD-RW drive, or USB port. You cannot back up recorded video if no device is available or if the disc already has data written on it. Always provide a blank disc, or reformat an existing disc before using it. You must reformat discs on a computer.

•Start Time: Select the start time for the video that you want to copy.

•End Time: Select the end time for the video that you want to copy.

•All: Select this option if you want to copy all recorded video to external storage devices. The storage device must have sufficient space to copy all of the video.

•Video: Select each channel if you want to copy only the video recorded from specific cameras.

•Audio: Select each channel if you want to copy only the audio recorded from specific cameras.

•Title: Enter a name for the backup copy of recorded video. The name can contain 11 characters and can contain these letters or symbols: A through Z, 0 through 9, or a space.

•Event: Select this option if you want to copy only event-based recordings.
