6. Click the relevant tab to select a format to export to.

this in the bar at the bottom of the window.
8. Click Start Export to export your evidence.
If you want to make changes or add more items later, click Cancel. When asked if you want to
remove the selected export items, click No. This ensures that your list of export items is

Frequently asked questions: exporting
Can I export audio too?
When exporting in the media player and XProtect formats, you can —if your surveillance system
supports this —include recorded audio in the export. Export in the database format is only available if
connected to selected surveillance systems. For a detailed outline of the features available on your
particular system, see the XProtect Comparison Chart on:
www.milestonesys.com . When exporting in
the JPEG (still image) format, you cannot include audio.
If I export a bookmark video clip, what is included in the export?
The entire bookmark video clip (see "Bookmarks" on page 114) is included, from the specified clip
start time to the specified clip end time.
If I export a sequence, what is included in the export?
The entire sequence, from the first image of the sequence to the last image of the sequence is
included.
If I export an evidence lock, what is included in the export?
All data protected from deletion is included: all the cameras and data from devices related to the
cameras, from the first images of the selected interval to the last images of the selected interval.
Can I export digitally zoomed images?
Yes. If you used digital zoom prior to exporting, you will, when exporting in the media player or still
image formats, be able to export the regular images or the digitally zoomed images. When exporting in
the XProtect format, making this selection is not necessary because recipients will be able to use
digital zoom on the exported recordings.
Can I export 360° lens recordings?
Yes, provided your surveillance system supports the use of 360° lens cameras (i.e. cameras using a
special technology for recording 360° images).
Why can't I specify an export path?
You can usually specify your own path, but if you are connected to certain types of surveillance
systems (see "Surveillance system differences" on page 42), the surveillance system server may
control the export path setting and you cannot specify your own path.
Why have digital signatures been removed in my exported video?
There are two scenarios where digital signatures are excluded during the export process:
- If a privacy mask has been added, no digital signatures for the recording server will be included in
the export.
