Selecting files for playback
Once you have clicked the Search button, a streaming bar will appear above the Preview
Window to show that the search is progressing. If there are video records that meet your
criteria, you will see the time periods that the videos were recorded appear as yellow blocks
of time in the Playback Timeline at the bottom of the Control Center window. On the right
edge of the Preview Window, there is a vertical tab which will slide to the left when you
hover your mouse over it. This will show the exact time and nature of the alert that triggered
the recording along with the camera that recorded it.
You can begin playback of a record in a single screen by clicking on it.
Alternatively, you can move the playback indicator along the timeline to watch the video from
all the channels that recorded at that time.
Please note that search times may be longer when searching for files on monitored systems
as opposed to files stored locally on your computer. Your network connection speed at both
your computer and the DVR can affect the amount of time it takes to conduct the search as
well as loading a file for playback.
VIDEO PLAYBACK
Once you have selected the video(s) you wish to view, playback will begin when the Play
