4.5 Multi-Screen Playback
Select Multi-Screen to playback up to four cameras simultaneously. The Playback window will be divided into
quadrants; they are filled in clockwise order beginning from the top left. To add a camera to the playback, click
on its name or some point within its timeline. If all quadrants have cameras loaded, clicking a new camera will
replace one of the initial cameras. Footage will play back from all loaded cameras simultaneously.
Note: If a camera does not have footage for a time when other cameras do have footage, the
video will pause with an overlay stating “No frames were found” while other cameras continue to
play. When the playback time reaches a point where the paused camera has more footage, its
playback will resume. When there is no footage for any camera, the playback skips to the next
time where footage exists for at least one camera.
Note: To revert to Single Screen playback, first select a camera and then click the Multi-Screen
button in the Video Search Results section.
4.6 Advanced Features
Smart Search
The Smart Search feature refines the loaded video footage based on motion detected within a user-defined
region.
To perform a Smart Search, you must first define or “mask” a motion detection region. To do this, click Show
Mask and draw on the playback image. Any time a clear area is clicked on, the mask is expanded.
Alternatively, when a masked area is clicked on, the mask is removed. Click the Smart Search button to
perform the search. Once the search is complete, only video frames that contain motion in the masked region
will be loaded for playback.
