4.6.2 …to your PC
Once you’ve finished backing up an event or two to the USB flash drive, you might be wondering what to do with it. Well, whilst you’re backing up footage, the DVR automatically copies a small program onto the flash drive that will allow you to access and playback the footage on a PC.
Insert the USB flash drive into a spare USB port on your PC, open it, and find the file named “PLAYER.EXE”. Running this will give you instant access to the footage on the flash drive.
NOTE: The viewing program is supported by Windows Vista, XP and 2000. Using other platforms to view the backed up information is neither recommended nor supported. However – as the files on the flash drive are encoded using the H.264 codec – it is possible to play the files without the dedicated program. It’s worth noting that this manual contains no information on how to do this, and it is not a supported function of the unit. Attempting to do so could easily corrupt your data.
