The
Event Search
menu will show you
recordings that were triggered by the
DVR detecting motion.
Typically, the majority of recordings
based upon “Events” are likely to be
recordings triggered by the DVR’s
motion detection
feature.
The search function operates in the same
way as the main playback search: the
only difference is you’ll select an
Event
Type
rather than a
Video Type
.
The
Log Search
displays a list of events,
presented in chronoloical order: the
most recent events will be at the end of
the list.
The Log will list all events that the DVR
monitored, whether or not any footage
was recorded as a result.

Specific Incident Backup
Say you’ve got an hour of video recorded as a single pack, and
the interesting bit is from 33:12 to 33:26. We’re sure you don’t
want to copy and convert the whole hour for those precious
14 seconds. So, there is a better way!
Shown above is the
Playback Control Interface
, explained
in more detail over the page (see “The Playback Interface”
on page 36). We’re going to discuss the functions of two
buttons only, the
Cut
button and the
Copy
button.
Note:
These don’t work
quite
the same way they do on a
computer! Those familiar with a video editor might recognize
the function of the Cut button as being similar to the
Mark In/
Out
function.
Cut:
Marks the Start Point and End Point for a specific incident
backup.
Press once
to mark an
start point
at the current position
marker. Typically, this will be immediately before the incident
you want to copy.
Let the video play past the incident you want to save, and then
press Cut again
to mark the
end point
.
Pressing
Cut
a third time will erase the previous start/end
points and begin the process again.
Copy:
Initiates a backup of everything between the start and
end points. You’ll see the backup dialog shown above, but
with only a single video listed.
If there is no start point marked, the backup will commence
from the start of the timeline. If no end point is marked, the
backup will continue until the end of the current timeline.
