Getting started

The Archive Player is used to view archived recordings on a PC (each recording is a video file
that has been exported from the DVR or Web Client). If required, use the Player to also check
the authenticity of an archived recording before viewing.
To easily identify an archived file, check the default export name for the recording time and
date.

archive file to other media afterwards, make sure to also copy the play.exe file.

via Web Client. Use the Archive Player available on the Bosch website, the product CD, or
