DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

The XVR automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time changes. When the hour “jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is skipped. However when the hour “falls back” there is a duplicated hour that under normal circumstances would be recorded over. The Surveillix XVR actually records both hours and allows the user to select which hour to play if the need arises.

To access the ‘lost hour’:

1.From the Search screen, select the Calendar Button.

2.Select the date when Daylight Savings time ‘lost’ an hour. An option appears which says Daylight Saving.

3.To play back the ‘lost hour’, select the Daylight Savings option.

4.Click OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search features.

SAVE TO JPG OR AVI

The XVR unit can export single images in the Image file formats 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.

1

Export Type

Export a single image or .AVI video clip. (The user may choose the format for the

image,

 

 

different formats provide different file-sizes, quality and compatibility)

 

 

 

 

 

2

AVI Duration

Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the .AVI file. Although 100 is the

longest

 

 

displayed, a manual time may be entered.

 

 

 

 

3

Compression Codec

Choose the codec with which to encode the .AVI file. Each codec provides different levels

 

 

of quality, compatibility and file-size.

 

 

 

 

4

Image Quality

It may be necessary to reduce the overall size of an .AVI file; for example, to email to

 

 

someone. .AVI file sizes can be reduced by reducing the image quality. However,

 

 

reducing the image quality causes the .AVI video to appear more pixilated. When size is

 

 

not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly recommended.

Export

Begins the saving process. (Cancel Button exits without exporting.)
