The timeline
Although the bookmark time and the clip start and end time are
specified by the surveillance system administrator, you can change
these settings. To change the time, drag the indicators on the
timeline (see "Time navigation" on page 119) to the required time.
Clip start time: The suggested start time of the bookmark clip (a
certain number of seconds before the bookmark time), specified by
the surveillance system administrator.
Bookmark time: The time in the video clip that you bookmarked.
Clip end time: The suggested end time of the bookmark clip (a
certain number of seconds after the bookmark time), specified by
the surveillance system administrator.
Headline Lets you specify a headline containing a maximum of 50 characters.
Description Lets you specify a description.
Add or edit bookmarks
1. Select the required camera in the view.
2. Click the bookmark icon . If you have specified that you can add details in the Options (see
"Functions options" on page 98) window, the Bookmark window appears where you can add
a detailed description of the incident. The length of a bookmark clip is determined on the
surveillance system server, but you can change this by dragging the timeline indicators.
Tip: Do not worry if it takes you a while to enter the details for your bookmark; the XProtect
Smart Client remembers your bookmarks until you click Save (unless it takes several days to
create the bookmark and the video no longer exists on the surveillance system).
3. Click OK.
Manually activate output
If external output has been defined on your surveillance system, for example, switching on lights or
sounding a siren, this can be activated from the Live tab. Note that, depending on your user rights,
access to activating output may be restricted.
There are two ways of manually activating output, either by using the Output pane or by clicking the
overlay button if this is available (if an overlay button is available, it appears when you move your
mouse over the view).

On the Live tab, in the Output pane select the required output, and then click Activate. The
list of selectable output is grouped by server
in some surveillance systems, while in others,
they are grouped by cameras. If a server is listed with a red icon , it is unavailable, in which
case you cannot activate output on that server.
