8.3. SMART SEARCH
The Smart Search feature allows the user to search for motion in a specific area of a video (camera) window.
This is helpful to narrow down the search results if only a portion of the video window contains the event in
question. For example, if a scene in an office includes a safe and the manager wants to review who accessed
the safe, the area of the video window that contains the safe could be defined as the only portion of the
recorded videos searched for motion.
Note: the area of a video searched using Smart Search must be part of the defined area for Motion Detection
(see Section 6.2.2).

Press the Mode button on the front panel of the DVR or on the remote control to begin searching the
recorded video and audio based on the selected search Time, Camera, and Motion Area. Alternatively

half of the dialog box.

files or 200 GB of hard drive storage for each record partition will be searched based on the start time
entered.
