when compression is used.
9. If you want to encrypt the exported database, select the Encrypt Exported Database check
box. If you select encryption, specify a password for subsequent decryption of the exported
databases, and remember to send the password to the recipient separately.
Note that when encryption is used, the database export process as well as subsequent
opening of the database in order to view its content will take considerably longer than
when no encryption is used.
10. Specify export destination in the export dialog’s Export Destination section.
Desktop: If you select Desktop, your exported file will be saved in an
automatically created Exported Images folder on the desktop of your PC.
Path: If you select Path, you are able to specify a path yourself. The exported
database will be saved in an automatically created Exported Images folder under
the path you specify (example: If you specify a path like C:\My Stuff\My Files, the
exported file will be saved in C:\My Stuff\My Files\Exported Images). When
specifying a path this way, the folders you specify do not have to be existing ones;
if they do not already exist, they will be created automatically.
11. If you want to include a stand-alone version of the Viewer (application for viewing and
navigating recordings; see separate manual) in the database export, select the Include
Viewer Program Files check box.
Tip: If you include the Viewer in the export, the exported databases can be viewed on
any PC—no additional Milestone XProtect Enterprise software will be required.
Tip: A Viewer included in a database export will, if possible, match the language
version of your Smart Client. If the Viewer is not available in a matching language version,
an English language version of the Viewer will be included.
12. Click the Export button to begin the export. The status bar in the upper part of the export
dialog will display the status of the export:
Tip: If you are exporting very large databases, export may take a while. You can
continue to use the Smart Client for other purposes while the export process is underway.
If the Close On Completion check box is selected (default), the export dialog will
automatically close when the export is finished.
You are now able to distribute the content of the Exported Database folder.
Tip: If you included the Viewer application in the export, double-clicking the file
Browser.exe in the Exported Images folder will open the Viewer, ready for viewing and
browsing the exported database content.
Tip: If you included the Viewer application in your export, copying all files from the
Exported Images folder to the root of a CD or DVD will start the CD/DVD automatically
when the recipient inserts it.
