Archive export🔗

In the Eocortex Web-client application, it is possible to export an archive fragment of one or more cameras to MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) files. The export files are saved in the system, so you can download them repeatedly.

Warning

To generate an export file and to access the export history, the user must have permissions to view and export the archive.

Export

To export a fragment of the archive:

  1. Select Archive export on the control panel.

../../_images/web-export-archive-menu.png
  1. In the window that opens, select the cameras in the tree for which you want to generate export files. If you select several cameras, a separate file will be generated for each of them.

Note

The right part of the window displays the archive preview area and timeline related to the currently selected camera.

  1. Set the export interval: either by specifying the start and end time of the interval in the sidebar or by dragging the start and end of the interval on the timeline.

Warning

The export interval should not exceed 1 hour.

  1. Select the export file format in the sidebar.

  2. Specify whether to export the sound.

  3. Click Start export button.

Warning

When no camera is selected, the Start export cannot be pressed.

When Start export button is clicked, a task to generate export files will be started on the server. If several cameras have been selected, a separate task will be generated for each selected camera; the export parameters of all such tasks will be the same.

Note

Only one export file can be generated at a time. In other words, if several cameras are selected, each next task will be executed after the previous one is completed.

If the export web page remains open and is not force refreshed, the export files will be automatically downloaded to the browser when the tasks are completed. If the page has been closed or refreshed, the export Files will be downloaded on the Export history page.

Note

In a multiserver system, export files are created on the server to which the web-client is connected.

Export files are stored on one of the server’s archive disks, in the directory:

<Disk>://EocortexArchive/export.

Warning

If the Eocortex server application is stopped or restarted, all running or queued tasks will be canceled and will not be resumed after the application is started.

Export history

Selecting Export history on the control panel opens a page containing information about queued, running, previously executed and canceled archive export tasks.
