Using the Search Clip File button,
Video files are stored on the DVR’s hard drive on a file size depending on the Swap File size set
at the DVR’s camera setup. After the date, camera number and the specific time of the day has
been selected, click on this button to start saving the clip file on your local hard drive. The length
of time for this clip file will depend on where in point in time did you start saving the clip file within
the range of the Swap file size. There is no way to tell how long will the search clip file will be. So
the length of the clip usually varies. The best one to use in saving a selected remote video files to
your local hard drive is the File List download.
Capture Image - click on this button while viewing the video to capture a snapshot in
.bmp format. You will then have a message box to give you the location of the capture image, just
as shown below: (RSearch - indicates a remote search captured image).

to do a local playback if you have setup the remote client software to record video to your local hard drive
while connected from the DVR or Video servers. Please see the pages 7(item5) through page 9 on this
manual for local recording setup.
