Searching Views
You can also search for video recorded on all cameras in a specific view (See Site Tree Navigation , for
View set up instructions.)
Select Views from the Navigation Pane, and then select the View you want to search by clicking the
appropriate checkbox. Select the date and time you would like to search by using the Calendar and
Start Time fields, and then click the Search button. All of the cameras in the View will be displayed in
the Video Playback window.
To zoom in on a single camera from the view, double click on the video in the Video Playback window.
To return to the multi camera view, double click in the Video Playback window again.
Searching Events
There may be times when you want to narrow your search to a specific event rather than all video that
recorded on a particular camera during a given time period. For example, you may have a camera in
the main lobby set to record upon motion. Rather than searching all of the video that recorded upon
motion, you may only want to view instances when the front door opened. To start this process, you first
need to create an event to record video based on the front door opening. See
Linking for instructions on
creating and linking an event.
Once this event has been established and linked appropriately, you will be able to conduct an Events
search to locate video or audio associated with the event. To do this, click the Events button on the
Navigation pane and the Event you want to search.
Once you have selected your event or events, select the desired date and time and click the Search
button.
