Video Playback Interface

This second method allows you to efficiently and quickly playback footage from a 

particular camera. Meaning that when you log into the playback interface, the camera 

you have selected will already be displaying in the video playback section of the interface. 

Firstly decide which camera you would like 

to view footage from, and right click on 

the top of that camera tile. 

Find the option ‘

Instant Playback

’ and 

hover the cursor over it to bring up the 

next set of options (highlighted in the red 

box on the right).

Select how far back you want to go,

(up to 30 minutes instantly), and then any 

time/day desired once in playback.

 

When you have selected how far you 

want to go back, you will be asked to login 

(please see example on 

Page 7

). Once 

logged in you will be able to playback that 

particular camera’s footage.
