Exporting The Video To Play On Another Computer.

All the video files saved by WebNetEyes is in a format that you can not view with any other viewer then the one that is built into the WebNetEyes program. The files are saved with the .IMG file extension. If there is another player out there that will play these files I don't know about it. If you find one then I would appreciate you letting me know about it.

You can how ever export a chunk of video from the WebNetEye program to a .AVI file format for use with other video players like Windows media player. Here's how:

First you need to select the camera that you want to work with. You do this from the main screen by highlighting the camera's window then click on the Video Playback button as seen in arrow 1 to the left. 

Now select the SAVE tab as seen in arrow 2 to the left.

Arrow 3 shows the options that you have for saving the files. AVI, JPEG or BMP

Now you select the start time and end time of the video that you want to export as shown in arrows 4 and 5. 

First you set the time the you press the SET AS CURRENT IMAGE. One for the starting point (Arrow 4)and again for the ending point (Arrow 5).

Now you press the SAVE button as seen in arrow 6

Warning: If you select JPEG or BMP WebNetEyes will save all the images separately which means that your going to have a lot if individual pictures and I mean a LOT. I wouldn't use this option unless you need to analyze each frame between the Start time and the End time.

Make sure that you select the AVI options shown in arrow 3 if your trying to make a movie file that you can play back with windows media player.

Keep the time length that your exporting as small as possible because AVI files are HUGE. This feature is designed to be used to get an "Incident" into a format that can be shared with others. This is not a back up tool.

You can either manually enter the start and end time or:
As your watching the video stop it at the point where you want to start recording and press the "Set as Current Image" show above in the "Beginning Time" box.

Now start the video playing again and stop it where you want the video the end and press that "Set as Current Image" shown above in the "Ending Time" box.
