XProtect format settings

Export in the XProtect format is available when connected to selected surveillance systems only. Depending on your user rights, access to exporting evidence from some or all cameras may be restricted.

Name

Description

Include XProtect Smart Client – Player

Select to include the XProtect Smart Client – Player application with the exported data. The XProtect format can only be viewed with the XProtect Smart Client – Player.

Prevent re-export

Select that you do not want to allow the video or audio to be re-exported—your recipients will not be able to export in any format.

Password protect

Select the strength of the encryption you want to apply to the exported data. When you click Start Export, the system asks you for a password that must contain at least eight characters.

Include digital signature

Select to include a digital signature to your exported database. Depending on your surveillance system settings, the video or audio might already contain a signature. If this is the case, these signatures will be verified during export and if successfully verified, added to the export. If verification fails, the export for the device will also fail. When the recipient opens the exported files, he/she can verify the signature in the XProtect Smart Client – Player.

If you do not include a digital signature, neither the signature from the server or the export will be included, and the export will succeed even if the video or audio has been tampered with.

There are two scenarios where digital signatures are excluded during the export process:

- If there are areas with privacy masks, digital signatures for the recording server will be removed in the export.

- If the data you are exporting is very close to the current date and time, the digital signature for the recording server might not be included for the whole sequence. In this case, only part of the export will have digital signatures added.

The export process will complete, but when you verify the signatures, you will see that the digital signatures for the recording server were removed or partially OK.
