When you view live or recorded video, or search for video, you can take an instant snapshot to share. Privacy masks in video are also displayed in snapshots.

In live or playback mode:

  • Select a camera, hotspot, or carousel view item, then on the camera toolbar, select Create snapshot SC_CameraToolbar_CreateSnapshot_icon.jpg.

On the Search tab:

  • Search for and select a search result. Then, on the blue bar at the bottom, click the three-dot menu icon, and select Create snapshot.

Your snapshots are saved in a folder named Snapshots, which is automatically created when you create your first snapshot. The location is specified under Settings and more > Settings > Application > Path to snapshots. The default location is C:\Snapshots.
