Editing and Downloading Video Excerpts
You can store a list of excerpts from recorded video that are of particular interest to you. You create the list by
means of the CCTV monitor interface, and it is stored on the Video Gateway unit. You can add new items to the list
at any time, or clear the list and start creating a new one from scratch. As long as the video excerpts in the list are
stored on the Video Gateway unit, you can play them on the monitor and download them to your FTP server.
The current list of excerpts is called the edition, and each video excerpt it contains is called an item. You can play
the items in the current edition on your CCTV monitor whenever you wish. When you do so, the items play one
after the other in the order in which they appear in the list. In addition, you can download the entire contents of the
edition to your FTP server. The items are incorporated into a single video file for downloading.
The edition feature can be used to help you locate and keep track of important recorded video. For example, if an
intruder is recorded by camera 1 when he enters a building, camera 2 when he enters a particular office, and
camera 3 when he leaves the building, you can select the footage from each camera in which the intruder appears
and create a single video recording containing the three excerpts. You can then play the three recordings on the
monitor in succession in order to study them more carefully or show them to a supervisor or other security staff;
you will not have to search for the relevant parts each time you want to see them. In addition, you can download a
file containing all three recordings to an FTP server in order to save it for later use and distribute it to other viewers.
You can manage the edition in the Edition menu. The menu provides access to the feature’s controls and, at the top
of the screen, shows the current name of the edition (if it has a name) and the number of items it contains.
To open the Edition menu:
In the main monitor menu, select Edition.
