13. Click the Export button to begin the export. The status bar in the upper part of the export
dialog will display the status of the export:
Tip: If you are exporting very long sequences, export may—depending on your
selected export settings—take a while. You can continue to use the Smart Client for other
purposes while the export process is underway.
If the Close On Completion check box is selected (default), the export dialog will
automatically close when the export is finished. Upon completion, you are able to view and
distribute the exported file.
Exporting in Database Format
To export video evidence in the Milestone XProtect database format, do the following:
Note: Date and time formats used when browsing recorded images may vary depending on your
computer’s regional settings.
1. Select the Smart Client’s Browse tab.
2. Select the view on which you want to base your export.
Tip: You do not necessarily have to include all of the selected view’s cameras in your
export; later in the process you will be able to specify exactly what to include in the export.
3. In the Browse tab’s Export section, specify when the period to be covered by the export
should start. You do this by typing the required date in the first Start Time field and the
time in the second field.
Tip: Instead of manually specifying date and time, you may use the Browse tab’s Time
Navigation features to move to the required start point, then click the upper of the Export
section’s Set buttons. This will automatically set the date and time of the viewed image in
the Start Time fields.
4. In the End Time fields, specify end date and time for the export. You may use the Set
button as described above.
5. Select the required source from the Source list. You may select an individual camera, in
which case only images from the selected camera will be included in the export, or Current
View Sources, in which case the export will include images from all cameras in the current
view for which you have database export rights.
Tip: To quickly select an individual camera, you may also simply click the required
camera slot in the view.
6. Click the Database Export... button. This will open a separate export dialog. The export
dialog will list the specified start time, end time, and source.
7. If the selected camera(s) have audio sources attached, you are able to include audio in the
export by selecting the Include Audio check box (if no audio sources are attached, the
check box will not be available).
