If the Close On Completion check box is selected (default), the export dialog will
automatically close when the export is finished.
You are now able to distribute the content of the Exported Database folder.
Tip: If you included the Viewer application in the export, double-clicking the file
Browser.exe in the Exported Images folder will open the Viewer, ready for viewing and
browsing the exported database content.
Tip: If you included the Viewer application in your export, copying all files from the
Exported Images folder to the root of a CD or DVD will make the CD/DVD start
automatically when the recipient inserts it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Exporting
Can I export audio too? When exporting in the AVI and database formats, you are—when the
surveillance system supports audio—able to include audio recorded by microphones in the export.
Outgoing audio from the Smart Client to speakers can only be recorded by some surveillance
systems, and cannot be included in exports. Also bear in mind that export in the database format is
only available if connected to selected Milestone surveillance systems; see Surveillance System
Differences on page 100 for more information. When exporting in the JPEG format, you cannot
include audio.
Can I export digitally zoomed images? If you used digital zoom prior to exporting, you will,
when exporting in the AVI or JPEG formats, be able to select whether to export the regular images
or the digitally zoomed images. When exporting in the database format, it will not be necessary to
make such a selection as recipients will be able to use digital zoom on the exported recordings.
Can I export fisheye recordings? Yes, provided your surveillance system supports the use of
fisheye cameras (i.e. cameras using a special technology for recording 360° images). When
exporting recordings from a fisheye camera, be aware that it is only possible to export the raw
fisheye view itself; not a flattened fisheye view, a 2×2 split fisheye view, or zoomed fisheye views.
Where can I learn more about the Viewer? The Viewer has its own built-in help system,
and a separate Milestone XProtect Viewer User’s Manual is also available from the Milestone
website, www.milestonesys.com. Useful tips for people performing database exports in the Smart
Client—about making the standalone Viewer start up automatically, etc.—is also available under
Exporting in Database Format previously in this topic.
