Using REC Search
The REC Search feature can be accessed from the Main Menu after logging in. It allows the user to
search for and view any recorded
video which is stored on the DVR’s storage (hard disk drive or SD
card). Users can also select and export video clips of specific time periods to an external storage device
(such as USB flash drive) for later viewing.
REC Search Step 1: Selecting the Date
Essentially, the REC Search screen allows you to select a date to view the recorded video. It uses a
calendar view to enable the user to easily visualise the availability of recorded video, and also employs
color coding to provide easy identification of dates for which the recorded video has special
characteristics (e.g. locked video, or alarm events).
What is locked video?
The device setup allows you to configure the recording settings such that video is always
retained for at least a minimum number of days after it is recorded. Locked video refers to
recorded video which falls within the stipulated duration, and hence is protected against being
deleted or overwritten by the device.
