USB Backup Instructions

• First, insert a USB ash drive into the USB port on the rear of the DVR. Inserting a

ash drive into the mouse port will not work correctly.

• Make sure there are no les on the USB ash drive that you wish to keep, as data

already on the drive may be lost (whether or not you use the FORMAT option).

• If you need to format the USB ash drive, see the USB Format option in the HDD

Drive Menu, covered on “HDD Management” on page 44.

• Open the Detail Files screen - see “Detail Files and Log List” on page 34.

• Locate the le(s) you wish to copy.

• Highlight the Select check-boxes which correspond to the recordings that you

wish to backup, and left click or press select.

• You can backup multiple recordings at once, as long as their cumulative size will

t on the USB ash drive you have inserted into the DVR.

• Choose Backup.

Notes:

Backing up footage is not an instant process. Copying the footage to the USB device

may be a time consuming process, though it’s usually much quicker than the amount

of footage you’re backing up (typically about 150MB/minute, which equates to

approximately 6 minutes per GB).

There are many factors which will aect the amount of time the DVR requires to copy

all the footage you’ve selected to the USB drive, and these include:

• The quality/resolution/framerate settings of the channel(s) being backed up.

• The speed of the USB ash drive used.

• The size and amount of free space remaining on the USB ash drive you use.

The backed up footage is stored on the ash drive in the same format as it is stored

on the DVR. This means that the backed up footage will not play in a computer as a

standard video le - you’ll need to use the dedicated playback software which comes

on the mini-CD included with the DVR. Instructions on how to install and use this

software can be found later in this manual.
