History Browser
Overview
Overview
The History Browser provides methods for you to review video recordings from your cameras. The top of
the screen shows the current video image. This is normally a preview video. The lower part of the screen is a
timeline control with navigation buttons.
Timeline Control : The timeline can be clicked and dragged left or right. The image displayed will change to
correspond to the pink cursor on the Timeline. The time shown will also change to show you the exact time
the cursor is located. The blue areas shown on the timeline indicate that the system has recorded Full Video
during those periods. Blank areas indicate that only Preview video is available. You can drag and scroll on
the time area to move over hours or minutes. You can also drag and scroll the date area to scroll to a specific
day.
Zooming the Timeline : You can change the zoom level on the timeline by selecting the 8 Hr , 2 Hr , 10 Min
or 1 Min buttons. This will change the amount of time shown in the timeline.
Navigation Buttons : There are six navigation buttons:
n
The
>|
and
|<
buttons will move the image one preview image forwards or backwards. The arrows on
a keyboard will also move one image forwards or backwards. Hold the button down to keep moving.
This will normally move the image one second forwards or backwards.
n
The
>>
and
<<
buttons will move the image from one key image to the next forward or backward.
When the system is recording full video (normally due to motion detection), it will select key images in
the video. These key images are normally in the middle of the video and allow you to see an important
part of a motion event. For example, if you are trying to watch a door, the key images will typically
give you an image of each person that walks through the door.
n
The
>>|
and
|<<
buttons will move the image from one video segment to the next. A video segment
can have more than one key image so this will typically move you faster through the timeline.
Selecting a Region of Time : If you want to either download or play a specific section of time, select the
time period using [Shift]+click and [Shift]+click again in the timeline. The selected region will be shown in yel-
low. Pressing the
Download or Play buttons will download or play the selected region, respectively.
Downloading a Video : Pressing the Download button will download an MP4 version of the video. Note that
this sometimes takes a long time to create, process and download the video. If there is no selected area, it
will download the current video segment under the cursor. If it will take more than 15 seconds to retrieve
the video, a new dialog will appear. You can enter a description of the video. This description appears in the
name and notification.
