Specific Incident Backup

Cut
Say you've got an hour of video recorded as a single pack, and
the interesting bit is from 33:12 to 33:26. We're sure you don't
want to copy and convert the whole hour for those precious 14
seconds. So, there is a better way!
Shown above is the Playback Control Interface, explained
in more detail over the page (see
Interface" on page 30). We're going to discuss the functions
of two buttons only, the Cut button and the Copy button.
Note: These don't work quite the same way they do on a
computer! Those familiar with a video editor might recognize
the function of the Cut button as being similar to the Mark In/
Out function.

The Backup File List
Will show you a list of all the video events between the start
and end times you've selected. All the ticked files will be part
of the backup.
Refresh: Looks for devices to which footage can be backed up.
This will include USB flash drives or hard drives connected to
the either of the rear USB ports.
AVI Format File: When checked, the NVR will transcode the
footage into a file format that can be played back on a computer.
About transcoding to AVI:
Don't be put off by the complex word - transcoding is just a
shortening of "translating code". Transcoding, while a straight-
forward process, is somewhat processor intensive. You may
notice some slow-down (or apparent non-responsiveness) on
your NVR while the transcoding takes place.
Copy
Cut: Marks the Start Point and End Point for a specific incident
backup.
Press once to mark an start point at the current position
marker. Typically, this will be immediately before the incident
you want to copy.
"Search: The Playback
Let the video play past the incident you want to save, and then
press Cut again to mark the end point.
Pressing Cut a third time will erase the previous start/end
points and begin the process again.
Copy: Initiates a backup of everything between the start and
end points. You'll see the backup dialog shown above, but with
only a single video listed.
If there is no start point marked, the backup will commence
from the start of the timeline. If no end point is marked, the
backup will continue until the end of the current timeline.
