1. In the Select drop down menu, select the Record or Record2 video stream.
The Trooper TL DVR records two streams of video, one for low bandwidth
remote viewing, and one with higher video speed, quality, and resolution settings
for creating archives. When accessing the DVR with vMax Web, the Record2
video stream is selected for use with low bandwidth connections while viewing
live video.
Higher video speed, quality, and resolution settings will provide clearer pictures
and will require more storage space and longer archiving time. These settings are
adjustable in the Configuration tab's Record menu.
See the TL DVR Installation and Configuration Guide, 700-0099, for specific
details when configuring DVR function settings.

vMax Web saves archives in the Seon DVR format, preserving all video and
telemetry data, which for security purposes can only be viewed with Seon
Design’s vMax View application.
6. Click Save.
The progress bar appears while the archive is being created.
7. In the confirmation dialog, click OK when the archive is complete.
The archive is ready to be viewed with the vMax View archive viewer.
8. To view the archive you require vMax View software from Seon Design.
3.3.4.2. Archive Segmentation
Archives larger than 2GB are segmented when downloaded from the TL4/2 DVRs.
The segments are saved as separate archive files with the following naming
convention:
• Archive.avr (original)
• Archive-002.avr (next segment)
• Archive-003.avr (next segment)
If your archive seems too short it could have been segmented.
vMax View has an option to stitch together segmented archive video if required.
