Exporting Video
EXPORTING LIVE OR RECORDED VIDEO
The DVR5100 remote client provides two methods for exporting video:
• Live export: Exporting video at the frame rate at which you are currently viewing the video (can be refreshing at a lower frame rate than it
was viewed due to network bandwidth throttle).
• Full export: Exporting everything that is stored on the DVR5100 hard disk drive.
Live export is much faster but may not export all frames. Full export can take longer but ensures that everything recorded on the DVR5100 is
exported to the remote client PC. Exported video is saved to the default export location as follows:
C:\Program Files\Pelco\Endura\DVR5100 Remote Client\Export
The default video format for exporting video is Pelco Video File (*.pef). For more information about configuring these defaults, refer to Setting Up
Export and Snapshot Defaults on page 90. The export icon that appears on the video pane is for live export. The icons in the Quick Search dialog
box are for full export.
Use the Export Manager to track the progress of exported video clips by clicking the Export Manager icon located in the lower-right corner of
the screen. Refer to Managing Exported Video on page 53 for more information about using the Export Manager to monitor exported video clips.
STARTING AN EXPORT PROCESS

2. Click Export . While the video is being exported, the Export button blinks blue alternating with green, the border of the video pane turns
red, and the Workspace icon becomes a blinking Export icon.
