Archiving recorded files 

Archive recorded files using an external device. You can also archive specific 
incidents in a file. You must be in live mode to play back a recorded file. 

You can insert a mini-USB hub to the USB port to attach a mouse for navigation 
and a USB drive for archiving. However, the unit may not support all types of 
USB hubs. 

Note: 

You must have playback privileges to play back recorded files. Avoid 

moving the external recording device when backing up information onto it. 

Archiving the day’s recorded files 

Use the Archive Today option on the Play Back screen to archive all the day’s 
recordings. A dialog box displays the backup status. 

If the external device is not connected correctly or the TVR 10 does not detect 
the external device, an alert dialog displays. Please alert the administrator if this 
occurs. 

Archiving recorded files from a file list 

You can also archive recorded files displayed in the File List box. 

To archive files from the File List box: 

1.  Search for recorded files. 

For more information on searching for recorded files, see “Searching for a 
recorded video” on page 31. 

2.  Select the files that you want to back up. 

In the file list box, click the file you want to archive. The checkmark symbol 
indicates a selected file. Select additional files you want to archive. You can 
use the Up and Down Arrow buttons to move through the files as shown in 
the figure below. Press ENTER to select the file you want to archive.
