File List

You can also search for video recordings using the File List. (Fig. 5-4)  Simply select 

the date from the Date drop down box and the channel name from the Cameras drop down 
box.  You will see a range of time indexes.  Each time index is a single video recording file. 
To playback a recorded file select the desired time index and select the 

Play

 button.  To 

playback a series of recorded video files sequentially hold down the 

Ctrl

 button on the 

keyboard and select more recorded video files from the list.

(Fig. 5-4)

Playback Node Tree

The Playback Node Tree allows you to switch between playback modes. (Fig. 5-5) 

When entering into the Playback Mode the Local Files is selected by default.  Local Files will 
display all video recording files located on the Unisight DVR Server's Disk Groups.  This 
mode will cache each recorded video file before playing back and may not always be 
synchronized with other playing recorded video files.  To synchronize the playback select the 
Local SYNC Playback under Custom Server.  This mode will delay the playback of recorded 
video files until each channel is synchronized.
