1.6. Playlist
GardenWatchCam Player 
allows you to play multiple 
files, either from the same 
directory or from multiple 
directories. To add files to an 
existing playlist, simply drag 
and drop one or more files 
onto the GardenWatchCam 
Player window. Alternatively, using the “File – 
Open” dialog box will allow you to select 
multiple files.
Files will be sorted in the playlist by their date 
and time stamp.
Wherever possible, the GardenWatchCam Player 
moves from one file in the playlist to the next, 
whether in regular play, single-frame, or motion 
search mode. 
To skip files in the playlist, you can either click on 
the “Previous” or “Next”: buttons, or you can 
double-click on any filename in the playlist.
To clear the playlist, you can click on the “Clear” 
button.
1.7. Motion Search
For certain uses such as 
surveillance and security 
applications, GardenWatch-
Cam Player incorporates a 
motion search algorithm. 
This allows the user to 
quickly scan through long 
sequences in which nothing 
moves, and only see frames where the scene 
has changed.
Motion Search is only available when Garden-
WatchCam Player is in a paused or stopped 
state.
1.7.1. Threshold
This sets how sensitive the motion detection is. 
A value of 0 is most sensitive; any variation from 
one frame to the next stops the motion search. 
A threshold of 255 or greater is least sensitive; 
no change in the image will stop the search.
1.7.2. Search Forward
GardenWatchCam Player scans from the 
current frame toward the end, looking for 
a frame differing from the previous frame 
by more than the threshold value. When 
GardenWatchCam player detects a frame 
with motion, that frame is displayed in the 
main image window and the player is put 
into Pause mode.
1.7.3. Search Backward
Backward motion search functions 
identically with forward motion search, 
except that it scans from the current 
frame toward the beginning of the 
sequence.
1.7.4. Stop Motion Search
Stop Motion Search stops the motion 
search at the current frame, and place 
GardenWatchCam player into Pause 
mode.
Note that during motion search, the main display 
is not updated. This allows the motion search to 
proceed more quickly than normal playback. 
A subset of the image is displayed above the 
motion search controls, to provide visual 
feedback.
