DIGITAL ZOOM

Digital zoom in video playback operates differently than it does in Live View as described 
at the beginning of this chapter.  Both are digital zooms where the image is electronically 
enlarged - usually in exchange for a decrease in image clarity. You can digitally enlarge an area 
of a video by clicking and dragging with the cursor on the area of interest. This action will draw 
a green rectangle on the screen. When you release the mouse button, the cursor will change 
to a magnifying glass. 

PICTURE 3-35

PICTURE 3-36

Click within the border to zoom into the area. 
If you need to re-draw the box, merely click 
outside the area to dismiss the box and then 
re-select the area.
In the case of a multi-screen viewing mode, 
the zoomed-in view will fill only that portion 
of the screen occupied by that channel. You 
can switch to single-screen mode by double-
clicking on the screen as described earlier. 
You can also go to full-screen mode and back 
to multi-screen mode as well. Right-clicking 
with the mouse will return you to the full 
channel view.

VIDEO CLIP

This allows you to save only a portion of a video clip. For example; if you have a camera set 
to record all the time and it captures some action in a five-minute segment, you can clip only 
that portion and back it up. In addition to making an incident readily available, saving only the 
portion of interest will reduce the amount of disk space needed to back it up.

STEP 1.

 Select a file to view in the normal manner.

STEP 2.

 Find the section of interest and press the 

Clip

 button (a) 

STEP 3.

 Drag the playback bar to the end of the section, or allow the video playback to 

progress to the desired endpoint and press the 

Clip

 button again.

STEP 4.

 Press the 

Backup

 button (b) to save the file to a USB drive connected to the 

USB back-up port on the front of the NVR. It is not possible to save the edited clip to 
the NVR’s hard drive.

BACK-UP

This process is different than the backup procedure described in 

Section 3.8 Backup

 at the 

end of this chapter where one can back up saved files located across multiple days. Instead, 
this procedure allows you to quickly save files or clips that you have located without having to 
search for them again. Once you have backed up these files to an external USB device they 
can be played back on a computer.

You must have a USB device connected to 
the USB port on the front of the NVR before 
proceeding. 

STEP 1.

 In your file list to the right of the 

playback screen, check the box next 
to the file(s) you wish to save. 

STEP 2.

 Click on the 

Backup

 button 

(

item b in 

Picture 3-36

) and the 

Backup

 window will open. 

STEP 3. 

Your device will be listed at 

the top of the window showing how 
much space is available. Below it, 
the list of file(s) you wish to back up 
will be displayed along with type, 
start and end times and size. At the 
bottom of the window, the space 
required to save the file(s) will be 
displayed. You may uncheck any files 
you do not wish to back up at this 
time. The Remove button will remove 
all the files from your list.

NOTE!

  The video files are in a proprietary format that will not play outside 

the NVR without being converted to .avi format using the included General 
Player software included on the Manuals and Software disc that came with this 
NVR or available for free download at Q-See.com by searching for your model 
number and looking under Software.

STEP 4.

 Press 

Start

 to back up your selected files.

Right-clicking the mouse will exit this window without saving the files.

Right-clicking with the mouse will exit the playback window.
