The DVR can export single images in a JPG Image file format and save video clips in an AVI format. Both JPG and AVI file formats
are the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file formats
which make them the most ideal formats to use.
JPG Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images, JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.
Use JPG to export a single image or frame.
AVI AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party
compression and decompression module called a codec. AVI is used to export a video clip.
