recording in all modes, from the last
hour. Click the Search button to
retrieve all footage meeting the spec-
ified criteria.
From/To
You can specify the start date/time and end date/time of your search. By default, VIGIL Server allows you to search
across multiple days. This can be changed to default to One Day in the Settings window, in the VIGIL Server Settings |
Search Tab.
Note: If the searched footage To date or time is older than the oldest footage on the VIGIL Server, the following
prompt will appear:
To automatically adjust the To date to be an hour later than the oldest footage on the VIGIL Server click Yes. If you do
not want to have the date range adjusted, click No.
Note: If the searched footage From date or time is newer than the newest footage on the VIGIL Server, the fol-
lowing prompt will appear:
To automatically adjust the From date to be an hour earlier than the newest footage on the VIGIL Server click Yes. If
you do not want to have the date range adjusted, click No.

This drop-down menu includes preset search intervals in hourly increments from 1 hour up to 8 hours. Additionally, selec-
tions for 15 and 30 minutes can be added by checking Quick Retrieve Short Intervals in the Settings | VIGIL Server Set-
tings | Search Tab. When a selection is made, the From/To times are adjusted accordingly. Selecting Custom Search
opens the Custom Search window where searches that are performed frequently can be created or run.

stant, Motion, All Alarms, Digital Input Alarms, Motion Alarms, POS/ATM Alarms or Video Analytics Alarms.
