Backing Up Footage to PC
The DVR4-5000™ has a backup feature via the USB port on the back of the DVR.
The DVR accepts most flash drives or thumbdrives. The flash drive / thumbdrive
must be formatted to the FAT32 file system. Please see your flash drive’s / thumb-
drive’s instructions regarding formatting. Follow the steps below to backup foot-
age:
Insert a USB flash drive into the USB port on the side of the DVR.
•
Enter Playback Mode. It does not matter what footage you are playing back,
•
so long as you know the start and end times of the footage you wish to
backup.
Open the backup menu by pressing MENU/ESC, or right click the screen with
•
the mouse and select the menu icon from the quickstart menu.
Enter a Start Time and End Time for the backup (selected the same way as in
•
Time Search mode).
Be sure you are using a USB flash drive large enough to store the events
•
between the start and end times.
Select / Click USB Copy to begin the copying procedure.
•
Do not turn the DVR off during the copying process. Whilst copying files, the
•
other functions of the DVR are temporarily suspended, and new events may
not be registered.
NOTE: USB back up can take up to the same amount of time as playing
back the video on screen. Eg. 1 hour play back may take up to 1 hour to
back up.
WARNING: Do not connect the DVR directly to a computer. Do not remove
the USB Flash Drive while the DVR is copying footage. Damage may occur
to attached devices if used improperly.
