5. Footage Backup & Viewing
5.1 Backup Footage to USB
Should you wish to preserve recorded footage before it is overwritten, you will need to perform a footage backup.
Footage can be exported from your DVR in a .DAV or .ASF file. A .DAV file will require conversion for sharing, whereas
an .ASF file is compatible with most video players on Windows or Mac PCs. Each file type is covered in Section 5.2.
There are two different ways to backup footage to USB: via the Search menu through searching playback footage; and
by performing a direct backup via the Backup menu. Both are accessed via the Main Menu.
Fig. 5.1: Backup Controls in the Search Menu.
