BACKUP VIEWER OVERVIEW
The Backup Viewer allows you to play back the exported video in its proprietary format. Video saved in this format is extremely
difficult to tamper with and therefore is the ideal solution when law enforcement and the legal department are involved.
This video cannot be read by any other viewer.
The Backup Viewer operates essentially like the Search portion of the DVR software.
For detailed explanations of these functions, refer to the chapter on Search Options in this manual.
