Exporting a Snapshot of an Image

You can export a snapshot of any image panel with video. When you export a snapshot, you are exporting what the image panel is currently displaying.

  1. To export a snapshot, do one of the following:
    • In the image panel, click save_snapshot.png.

    • Right-click the image panel and select Save Snapshot.

    The Export tab opens and your snapshot is displayed in the image panel.

  2. In the Format: drop down list, select the export file format then define your preferences:
Format Export Options

  • Select the Export Control Center Player check box if you want to include a copy of the Avigilon Control Center Player software with the export.
  • Click Burn to Disc to burn the export file directly to disk rather than export the file first.
