Exporting Images

Single frame shots can be saved in either Bitmap (BMP) or JPEG (JPG) format. BMP images retain all of the
original image detail, but are typically much larger than JPG images as a result. JPG images are compressed
but typically are indistinguishable from the original image with a quality of 70 or greater.

Additionally, you may select a quality setting for the JPG image by adjusting the slider. Closer to

larger sized file. For the most part, the default compression setting is the best choice. Click "Save"
when finished or "Cancel" to exit without saving.

Exporting Video

Video footage can be exported in Microsoft AVI or Motion JPEG (MJPG) formats. The AVI format is widely
supported on Microsoft Windows operating systems. However, the file size is typically much larger than files
exported in MJPG format. Vigil Server allows video exports to include the Vigil DV player to ensure playback
software is available for MJPG exports.
Click to open the Export sub-menu. Select which type of media you wish to export.
