Exporting to AVI
Lorex Client allows you export
video in third-party media players, such as VLC™ and DivX Player™. Converting the file to AVI
can be particularly useful if you need to provide authorities with copies of your video data if there
is a security incident at your business or home.
Note: The DivX or XviD codec (not included) is required if viewing AVIs in Windows Media
Player™.
