How to export a clip from Ocularis

There are multiple reasons to export a camera clip from Ocularis. Deputies may need a clip for evidence or an investigation. Insurance may need video of an accident. Testing proctors may need to supply a clip to the FAA or other regulating body. Most cameras have a 14 day retention for footage, but some testing cells can go back as far as 30 days.

Video clips and still frames have the camera name and time stamps turned on by default, but you can remove them by clicking the gear icon just before the final export.
