Changing the Default Export Location

On a Windows-based Exacq NVR, video exported from the exacqVision Client is saved by default to the “exacqVision Files” directory in Documents for the current Windows user. A Windows user logged as a Kiosk user, or logged in to a restricted operating system account cannot select a different directory when saving the exported file, but Windows users with Administrator privileges can select another directory.

On a Windows machine, an administrator may change the default export location within the Windows registry.

WARNING: Only experienced administrators should edit the registry. Incorrect edits can cause drastic changes in the operating system or the OS may fail to work altogether if the wrong keys are changed. Before you edit the registry you should export a copy of the key(s) you plan to change so that this can be restored if problems are encountered.

To change the default export location edit the following key/value pair.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal

Note: In Linux/Mac systems we write exports to the $HOME/exacqVision Files directory.

Camera Time Stamp Off by Years

Some cameras, particularly AXIS and Sony models, display an OSD date with an incorrect year. The time and date of the camera might be set to GMT and the Windows time is correct on the server, yet the OSD on the screen shows something like March 2, 2001.

<br>

This is usually a result of European Date Formatting (dd/mm/yy). Set the camera to USA date format (mm/dd/yy) to resolve the issue.
