Tips for Exporting Recordings* When exporting recordings, it is important to select the appropriate export format. AVI is a lossless format, which means that the quality of the recording will not be compromised. However, AVI files can be large and may not be suitable for all applications. MP4 is a lossy format, which means that the quality of the recording may be slightly compromised. However, MP4 files are smaller and more widely supported than AVI files. ASF is a proprietary format that is used by Hikvision surveillance systems. ASF files are smaller than AVI and MP4 files, but they may not be compatible with all media players.
* It is also important to select the appropriate resolution for the exported recording. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the recording. However, higher resolution recordings will also be larger and may take longer to export.
* Finally, it is important to select the appropriate export location. The exported recording will be saved to the specified location. Make sure that you have sufficient space on the hard drive before exporting the recording.
