Creating and archiving video clips
You can save important scenes in a recorded file for later reference by creating
video clips of selected portions of the file during playback. When an intruder, for
example, crosses in front of several cameras you can save the video clip of the
intruder’s path across these cameras in a single file.
Up to 30 video clips can be made from a recording.
Note: This feature is only available using the mouse.
To export video clips during playback:
1. Connect the backup device to the DVR.
