You can use the Vault tool in Security
Desk to play back your exported video files on your local computer.
What you should know
If you exported multiple video sequences simultaneously as a G64x file, they are either
played back in the same tiles that they were displayed in when they were exported, or
played back sequentially within a single tile.
If you changed the save location of exported video files, files that were exported to
the original location can no longer be viewed from the Vault. You cannot drag a video file
from Windows into the Vault.
ASF files can only be viewed in Windows Media Player.
MP4 files can be viewed in many media players such as Windows Media Player and
QuickTime.
NOTE: Some media players require a specific codec to be installed to play the
file correctly.
When you export a G64x video, the system can include additional
file information, such as camera name, creation date, and camera coordinates, which can
be useful for investigation. To view additional file information, right-click on a file
in the Vault and select Show
properties.
NOTE: The system only includes this
additional file information if an administrator enables the feature in your user
settings.
To view an exported video file from the Vault:
From the home page, click Tools
> Vault.
The Vault displays all exported files.
Double-click the file you want to view.
(G64x only) If the file is password-protected, enter the password.
One of the following happens:
If it is a G64x file, the file opens in Security
Desk and plays in the canvas of the
Monitoring task.
If it is an ASF or MP4 file, the file opens in the media player you have installed
on your system.
