1. Go to System settings → Options → Export (1–2).
   

2. In the Path to the folder for exporting a snapshot (3) and Pathto the folder for exporting video recording (4), enter the full path to the folders where exported files are to be saved. To do this, click the  button .

   Info
   title Note
   During export you can specify any path.

   
   

   Info
   title Note
   By default, on Windows XP, exported files are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\AxxonSoft\Export\. On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, they are stored in С:\Users\User\Documents\AxxonSoft\Export\.

   
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   These fields also allow you to specify the name template for the exported files, as follows: {0} - – Camera ID. {1} - – Camera name {2} - – Date. {3} – Time. {4} - – Recording duration (for video export only).

   
   

3. Select the default formats for export of video and snapshots (5). You can select any available format during export. Snapshots can be exported in two formats: JPG and PDF. Videos can be exported into the following 4 formats:  MP4, MKV, EXE and AVI.

   Info
   title Note
   Video is exported in MKV format without recompression. Video is exported in AVI format with recompression in the selected codec (see point 4). When video is exported in EXE format, a self-contained executable file is generated, containing video, playback tools, and necessary codecs.

   
   

4. If you want to export to an encrypted zip archive, set a password (6). If you are exporting an .exe file, you will need to enter a password when you open the file. 
5. Specify settings for video export in AVI format: Select a codec (7) and compression quality (8).

6. If you want to superimpose captions in the exported video, select the Export date, time, and AVI titles check box. When exporting to MKV, captions are always added, you can turn them off when playing (9).

7. You can watermark exported video footage as follows:

   Note
   title Attention!
   The watermark settings are applied to the entire Axxon domain.

   
   

   1. Select a file with a watermark (10). PNG, JPEG, BMP pictures are allowed.
   2. Set the transparency of the watermark: 100% - – opaque, 0% - clear – completely transparent (11).
   3. Set the location of the watermark (12). To do this, specify the border of the watermarked area on each side of the frame as percentage of the frame size. The top left corner should be taken as the origin point. 
      

      The default values are:

      Left  0

      Top  0

      Right  100

      Bottom  100

      For example, with the default settings (Left 0, Top 0, Right 100, Bottom 100), the watermarked area will occupy the entire frame, and the watermark will be placed in the center of the image. To place the watermark in a corner, specify the following values: 
      1. for the
      top-
      1. upper left corner
      : 

      Left 

      0

       Top 

      0

       Right 

      1. — Left 0, Top 0, Right watermark width as percentage of the frame width

       Bottom

       watermark
      1. , Bottom watermark height as percentage of the frame height;
      2. for the
      bottom-
      1. lower left corner
      : 

      Left 

      0

       Top 

      1. — Left 0, Top 100 minus watermark height as percentage of the frame height

        Right 

      1. , Right watermark width as percentage of the frame width

       Bottom 

      1. , Bottom 100;
      2. for the
      top-
      1. upper right corner
      :

      Left 

      1. — Left 100 minus watermark width as percentage of the frame width

       Top 

      0

       Right 

      100

       Bottom 

      1. , Top 0, Right 100, Bottom watermark height as percentage of the frame height;
      2. for the
      bottom-
      1. lower right corner
      : 

      Left 

      1. — Left 100 minus watermark width as percentage of the frame width

       Top 

      1. , Top 100 minus watermark height as percentage of the frame height

       Right 

      100

       Bottom 

      100

      1. , Right 100, Bottom 100.

8. Set Select a frame rate for the exported video : if Do not change is selected, the original frame rate is kept;  in one of two ways:

   1. Select a value from the Video recording frame rate drop-down list: if 1/2 is selected, the exported frame rate will be two times smaller than the original one; if 1/4 is selected

   ,

   1. — four times smaller, and if 1/8 is selected

   ,

   1. — eight times smaller (13).

      Info
      title Note
      The minimum frame rate of exported video is 1 fps.

      
      

   2. Set the frame rate manually (15). Possible values: from 1 to 300.

9. Set the limit for an exported video file size in megabytes (14). If the exported video exceeds the specified size, multiple export files will be created.

   Info
   title Note
   The minimum value is 5 megabytes. Due to Windows limitations, you cannot export files of more than 4 Gb to EXE format.

   
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   Zero value sets export to a single file irrelevant to its size.

   
   

10. If it is necessary to change the speed of the exported video, then set the acceleration factor from 0 to 128 in the Speed field (16). You can enter fractional values. For example, if you set 10 for the original 10-minute video, it will be exported to a 1-minute recording.
11. Configure a template for export of snapshots in PDF format:
    1. Select the font and font color (1).
    2. If necessary, select the PNG image to use as the background of the PDF document (2).
       
    3. Select the document orientation (3).
       Exported PDFs consist of three sections: comment entered during export; date and time of the snapshot; and snapshot image.

    4. Configure the size of the sections and their position on the page.

       

       Info
       title Note
       Section sizes and positions can be changed like standard windows.

       
       

12. Click the Apply button.
