5 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 you must have at least one export destination configured.
Note: If Export Auditing is enabled, required information must be entered before selecting the destination folder for both
images and video exports.
5.1 Exporting, Printing, or Emailing Images
Single frame shots can be saved or emailed in either Bitmap or JPEG format. BMP images retain all of the original image detail, but
are typically much larger than JPEG images as a result. JPEG images are compressed and are typically indistinguishable from the orig-
inal image when the JPG quality is 70 or greater.
Opens the Export context menu where the file format is selected. The Export button is only enabled
when video footage is selected in the Playback window.
Still Image
Select Bitmap to save the current frame in bitmap .BMP format. Select the export destinations and
enter a filename. Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without saving.
Select JPEG to save the current frame in JPEG .JPG format. 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 qual-
ity, 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.
E-mail
Select Bitmap or JPEG to e-mail the current frame in .BMP or .JPG format. Enter the email subject,
body and recipients.
Note: For email to function properly, a valid SMTP Server must be configured in the VIGIL
Server Settings tab.
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.
Prints to the Windows default printer. Click this button and select Print Still Image.
Note: The image will be sent to the default Windows printer only. If one has not been con-
figured an error message will appear.
