Play forward: Plays back recordings forward in time
Stop: Stops playback
Tip: Dragging the playback slider to its leftmost position pauses playback.
Skip Gaps During Playback
To automatically skip gaps in recordings during playback, select the Skip gaps during playback
check box. Such gaps are primarily evident when a camera has relatively few recordings.
Note: The Skip gaps during playback feature is based on gaps in video only. As soon as there is a
gap in video recordings, the feature will ensure that the gap is skipped even if there are audio
recordings during the video gap. This means that if a recording contains video as well as audio, you
may miss out on parts of the audio recordings if using this feature.
Quick Date and Time Navigation
The date and time fields in the lower part of the Time Navigation section let you quickly jump to a
specific point in time.
Specify required date in the first field and required time in
the second field, then click the Go To button.
Sequences
The Browse tab’s Sequences section provides you with
an overview of recorded sequences for the camera
selected in the view.
To use the Sequences section, select the required
camera in the view, then click the Sequences section’s
Get Sequences button.
Clicking the Get Sequences button will retrieve a list of
up to 40 sequences: 20 sequences prior to the point in
time displayed in the view, and 20 sequences following
the point in time displayed in the view. Each sequence
will be listed with date and time as well as the length of
the sequence.
Clicking a sequence in the list will move all images in the
view to the time of the sequence.
Tip: If the Preview check box is selected, you are
able to quickly view each sequence by placing the mouse
pointer over the required sequence in the list.
Clicking the expand icon next to a sequence in the list will show
you the exact date and time of the first and last image in the
sequence as well as the exact date and time of the motion
detection, event, etc. triggering the recording.
Sequences may often begin some seconds before a motion detection, event, etc. and end some
seconds after. This so-called buffer allows you to be able to see what happens immediately before
and after an incident; the buffer length is determined by the system administrator.
