FAQ: exporting

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. When exporting in the JPEG (still image) format, you cannot include audio.

The entire bookmark video clip (see Bookmarks (explained)) is included, from the specified clip start time to the specified clip end time.

The entire sequence, from the first image of the sequence to the last image of the sequence is included.

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.

Yes, provided your surveillance system supports the use of 360° lens cameras (i.e. cameras using a special technology for recording 360° images).

You can usually specify your own path, but if you are connected to certain types of surveillance systems (see Surveillance system differences), the surveillance system server may control the export path setting and you cannot specify your own path.

There are two scenarios where digital signatures are excluded during the export process:

• If there are areas with privacy masks, digital signatures for the recording server will be removed in the export.
• If the data you are exporting is very close to the current date and time, the digital signature for the recording server might not be included for the whole sequence. In this case, only part of the export will have digital signatures added.

The export process will complete, but when you verify the signatures, you will see that the digital signatures for the recording server were removed or partially OK.

Yes. When you export in the XProtect format, you can prevent your recipients from re-exporting the material, protect the exported evidence with a password, and add a signature to the exported material. See XProtect format settings.
