DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
The IPR automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time changes.
When the hour “jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is
skipped. However when the hour “falls back” there is a duplicated
hour that under normal circumstances would be recorded over. The
Surveillix IPR actually records both hours and allows the user to
select which hour to play if the need arises.
To access the ‘lost hour’:
1. From the Search screen, select the Calendar Button.
2. Select the date when Daylight Savings time ‘lost’ an hour. An option appears which says Daylight Saving.
3. To play back the ‘lost hour’, select the Daylight Savings option.
4. Click OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search features.
SAVE TO JPG OR AVI
The IPR unit can export single images in the Image file formats and save video clips in an .AVI format. Both .JPG and .AVI file formats
are the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file formats which
make them the most ideal formats to use.
JPG Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic
images, .JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.
Use .JPG to export a single image or frame.
AVI .AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically
compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party
compression and decompression module called a codec. .AVI
is used to export a video clip.
1 Export Type Export a single image or .AVI video clip. (The user may choose the format for the image,
different formats provide different file-sizes, quality and compatibility)
2 AVI Duration Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the .AVI file. Although 100 is the longest
displayed, a manual time may be entered.
3 Compression Codec Choose the codec with which to encode the .AVI file. Each codec provides different levels
of quality, compatibility and file-size.
4 Image Quality It may be necessary to reduce the overall size of an .AVI file; for example, to email to
someone. .AVI file sizes can be reduced by reducing the image quality. However,
reducing the image quality causes the .AVI video to appear more pixilated. When size is
not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly recommended.
5 Export Begins the saving process. (Cancel Button exits without exporting.)
