With SISTORE MX RemoteView it is possible to carry out remote AVI export. This
AVI export runs in SISTORE MX RemoteView according to the same pattern as in
the playback mode of SISTORE MX (see Section 17.16.1: Generating film
sequences).
SISTORE MX RemoteView sends the command to the SISTORE MX server. The
server generates film sequences locally in the "Upload" directory which is located
in the work directory and transmits these files to SISTORE MX RemoteView via the
network and/or ISDN.
Transmission of AVI files, above all via the telephone network, can take a long time
(several hours) because they are usually large and cannot be compressed any
more. SISTORE MX RemoteView cannot accept any other inputs from the user
during transmission. A progress display notifies the user about the progress of the
transmission (see Section 12.3: Please-wait dialog).
NOTE
This function is not available in the CDM archive.
Along with an AVI export, using SISTORE MX RemoteView it is now also possible
for SISTORE MX to generate a copy of all video recordings including the database
for a preset period and transmit that to the RemoteView system.
This consists of all video files of all cameras that have been generated during the
period required by you being copied without change. An extract from the database
which also corresponds with the required period is also generated.
The advantage of this process is that all known playback and search functions are
available with this copy together with SISTORE MX RemoteView.
Procedure
During an existing connection to a SISTORE MX server, specify a range with the
help of the timeline and then, using the menu File -> Backup... call up the dialog
where you want to specify the directory where the data extract should be stored
(see Section 17.7 Timeline display). IMPORTANT: In the case of raw data
extraction – unlike recording – the database and video data files are always stored
in the same and always only in one directory. The database is given the name
SISTORE_Backup.vdb. There must not be any other database files with the ending
.vdb in the specified directory. The directory should be empty. A network directory,
however, can also be used.
SISTORE MX now generates first of all a database extract SISTORE_Backup.vdb)
which contains all entries for the specified period and transfers this file to the
SISTORE MX RemoteView client. The client evaluates the database file and
orders gradually from the server the video files belonging to the database entries.
