Capture and Backup

Capturing a
Snapshot
When capturing a snapshot (or sequence thereof) you will be taken to the Snapshot dialog window.
Frame Count:
You can capture a single image at a time, or multiple images together. Select how many you want to
capture from this drop down menu.
Snap Button:
Execute the image capture, using the current selected criteria.
Embedded Text: You can choose what text is included in the captured images. 'Title' will add the channel title to the image,
and 'time' will add the time and date information.
Image Folder:
Choose where you would like the still images to be saved.
Backing Up
Video Files
Channel Selection
To quickly and easily backup footage, use the Backup dialog window.
Channel Selection:
Choose which channels you would like to backup. You can choose any combination.
Event Selection:
Choose the start and end date/time that you would like. All events between these times will be part
of the backup procedure.
Operation Config:
Here you can choose where you would like the backed up footage to be stored. Additionally, you
can use the Attach Application option to copy the stand-alone video viewing software to be copied
to the same location as the footage. This is necessary if you wish to view the backed up footage
on another computer which does not have the full PC-DVR software installed.
Information:
This window will inform you of the details of the video files being backed up, such as the total size
of the backup, the number of discreet events being copied, the duration of those events and so
forth.

Deleting Footage:
The Delete dialog window operates in a very similar way to the Backup dialog window
except, of course, the selected video footage will be deleted rather than copied to a new
location. Be sure you really want to delete footage before using this function - if you have
the overwrite function turned on, the PC-DVR will automatically delete old footage to have
space to continue recording - thus, deleting events manually is not necessary.
