10 Exporting
Video footage can be saved either as a single frame still shot or as a video file. Audio and POS/ATM data can be saved either embed-
ded within video footage or in a separate document. This process is referred to as “exporting”.
Note: To export footage there must be at least one export destination configured.
Note: If Export Auditing is enabled on the VIGIL Server, required information must be entered before selecting the des-
tination folder for both images and video exports.
10.1 Still Image Exporting
Single frame shots can be saved in either Bitmap (BMP) or JPEG (JPG) format. BMP images retain all of the original image detail, but
are typically much larger than JPG images as a result. JPG images are compressed and are typically indistinguishable from the orig-
inal image when the JPG quality is 70 or greater.
Click to open the Export Menu and Select Still Image. You may choose a Local Destination(A destination on
your current system) or a Remote Destination( a destination on the connected VIGIL Server.)
Bitmap
Saves the still image as a BMP image. Select the export destinations and enter a filename. Click Save when fin-
ished or Cancel to exit without saving.
JPEG
Saves the still image as a JPG image. Select the export destination and enter a filename. Additionally, you
may select a quality setting for the JPG image by adjusting the slider. Closer to the left side means a lower
quality, smaller sized file; further to the right means a higher quality, larger sized file. For the most part, the
default compression setting is the best choice. Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without saving.
Select the destination you want to save the
image to. You can select multiple destinations
by checking the corresponding boxes, as well as
create subdirectories by using the New Folder
button.
When exporting a Bitmap, the quality slider will
not be visible.
