6.9 SAVE TO JPG OR AVI
The DVR unit can export single images in the JPG file format and save video clips in an AVI format. Both JPG
and AVI file formats are the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some
type of support for these file formats which make them the most ideal formats to use.
JPG:
The format (.jpg) is optimized for compressing full-
color or grayscale photographic images. JPG
images are 24-
bit (16.7 million color) graphics.
JPG is used to export a single image or frame.
AVI:
AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but
it is typically compressed using a Windows-
supplied or third party compression and
decompression module called a codec. AVI files
save a video clip.
1 JPG File Export a single image or frame.
2 AVI File Export a video clip.
3 AVI Duration Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the AVI file. Although 100 is the longest
displayed, a manual time may be entered.
4 Image Quality It may be necessary to reduce the overall size of an AVI file; for example, to email to
someone. AVI file sizes can be reduced by reducing the image quality. However,
reducing the image quality causes the AVI video to appear more pixilated. When size
is not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly recommended.
5 Export The Export button begins the saving process. (Cancel Exits without exporting.)
