Daylight Saving Time
The recorder automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time changes. When the hour
“jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is skipped. However when the hour
“falls back” there is a duplicated hour that under normal circumstances would be
recorded over. The Fusion recorder actually records both hours and allows the user to
select which hour to play if the need arises.
To access the ‘lost hour’:
1. From the Search screen, click the Calendar button.
2. Select the date when Daylight Saving time ‘lost’ an hour. The Daylight Saving
option appears.
3. To play back the ‘lost hour’, select the Daylight Saving check box and enter the
repeated hour in the time box.
4. Click OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search
features.
Save to JPG or AVI
The recorder can export single images in a JPG Image file format and save video clips
in an AVI format. Both JPG and AVI file formats are the most commonly used graphical
formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file
formats which make them the most ideal formats to use.
JPG
Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images, JPG images
are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics. Use JPG to export a single image or frame.
AVI
AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a
Windows-supplied or third party compression and decompression module called a
codec. AVI is used to export a video clip.
