Firstly we need to establish if you have the older style recorder’s interface, or the new Gui4 interface pictured below. After right clicking on the screen and unlocking using the screen swipe drawing, you should get the new V4 interface. If not move below to Old style Interface

The icon that is second from the left showing a “play” triangle with an anti-clockwise arrow around it, is how to select Playback.

If you right click on your recorders screen , select playback (after unlocking the screen with the screen swipe etc) and see the image above, then you are on the older sytle interface.
Select the camera(s) you wish to view, and the days in the calendar will change colour to indicate available recording days.
Select the required days / date. Double click the day, and a 24 hour time-slot should appear, and the image that was recorded at the start of that time.
on the 1-24 (hours) bar, drag and drop the vertical line (cursor) to the approximate time you need. Use the playback button to review and cue the recording.
select the scissor icon to mark the start of the recording you need, and then drag the cursor to the end point, and select the scissors again.
On the bottom left menu select the cog icon (it says File Manager)
In here you can select and export the recordings you marked to your USB stick.
(Note you can select multiple parts of the recording and export them at the same time, also note that the NVR may split you snipped images into more than one file)
