PAL/NTSC H.264 Encoder
Recovering Recordings
Recordings are stored on the SD Card as individual 10 second duration files.
The file size is proportional to the video bit-rate selected by the user.
The files follow the a naming convention of:
YYMMDDHHNNSS_Ref for example 160308124611_0040 would have the meaning:
YY = Year e.g. 16
MM = Month e.g. 03 is March
DD = Day is 08
HH = Hour is 12
NN = Minutes is 46
SS = Seconds is 11
Ref = unique incrementing file reference eg: 0040
Recordings are stored in a file structure on the SD card and can be accessed using the FTP (File
Transfer Protocol).
Visual Engineering recommends applications such as FileZilla for accessing and downloading these
recordings.
Once downloaded recordings can be played in players such as VLC either individually by selecting
Play stored File or in groups by creating a play list.
FileZilla is a free application and can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/
WARNING
The current software release of the H.264 Encoder does not support simultaneous
recording whilst downloading recordings over FTP.
The recording mode should be set to ‘Off’ before attempting to download files.
Once the required files have been downloaded the recording mode can be re-
enabled.
