Exporting and documenting incident images

During an incident, speed is important, but an export without context or control can result in an unusable or incorrect fragment.

Exporting and documenting incident images

The practical signal

A estimated time, confusing channel name, or incorrect time zone can cause the export file to not show the event that someone expects.

The control sequence

First, check the camera, clock, relevant time zone, and any second sightline. Determine who may receive the image and where it will be temporarily or permanently stored.

What is smart to do

Export the necessary fragment with sufficient context before and after it and note the source data. Do not share wider than necessary and take into account other people in the picture.

When it is completed

Open the export on a second device, check completeness and register the transfer. Keep the original recording according to the agreed policy for as long as necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Do I always have to export a long fragment?

Bring enough context to understand the event, but limit unnecessary images.

Why use a second device?

This way you can check the size and usability outside the recorder.
