Hybrid Digital Video Recorder
The button pauses the video play.
The button plays video forward in normal speed.
The button plays video forward in fast speed. Click it once to forward in 2x speed. Each
additional click doubles the current speed. For example two clicks will forward in 4x speed. Three
will increase it to a speed of 8x, etc.
The button plays video forward one frame at a time.
The button plays video backward one frame at a time.
Another way to quickly scrub through video is by pressing Enter or Backspace on the keyboard. To do
this, select a video window and then hold down the Enter button to scrub forward or the Backspace
button to scrub backward. Enter and Backspace play
every frame of video as quickly as the system
hardware allows, unlike the normal Play and Reverse buttons, which play video at actual speed even if
frames must be skipped to do so.

view all instances of motion. The selected boxes are filled in with blue; to deselect a box, click it again.
