Synchronised review

When the time range is adjusted in the replay engine, all dashboard elements update to match:

  • Video widget — displays recorded footage from the selected time and camera (if available).

  • Tile data — updates with historical sensor readings.

  • Map location — shows GPS position at the specified time.

  • Graph widget — reflects data trends for the chosen period.

Export data and video

Saved data can be exported two ways:

  • To browser — exports all data except video to the browser viewing Device Manager. Compressed into a ZIP file for download.

  • To external drive — exports all data, including video, to a connected USB or SD card. Supported file systems: exFAT, NTFS, ext3, ext4, FAT32, vFAT.

Auto-export to external drive

BRNKL can automatically copy new video clips to an external drive as they are created. When a drive is connected and Auto-Export is enabled, any new clip recorded while the drive is connected is copied to the drive immediately.

To configure auto-export:

  1. Connect an external drive. Supported file systems: exFAT, NTFS, ext3, ext4, FAT32, vFAT.

  2. Open Device Manager > Settings > Data Management.

  3. Under External Drive, turn on Auto-Export Options.

  4. Check Alert video clips to include alert-triggered recordings in the auto-export.

  5. Click Save.

Auto-export copies clips as they are created. It does not export existing clips already stored on the internal drive. Use Export to External Drive to export previously recorded footage.
