SEARCH FOR VIDEO

AvertX recommends that you search for video through a 
web browser. This enables Preview Search, Visual Timebar 
Search, Event Search and other advanced options.

Date/Time Search:

Date/Time Search allows you to search video visually. 
This is useful to find events if you don’t know when an 
event occured and you need to scan video quickly. It 
is also useful when you know when an event occurred 
because you can go directly to that time.
1.  On the Menu Bar, click 

Search

.

2.  Select cameras by clicking on the camera list on the 

right side.

3.  Set the appropriate dates and times to start your 

search on the bottom menu bar. 
a.  Click on the 

Calendar

 icon to select date. 

b. Use 

and

 -

 to select time.

4.  (Web browser only) Use the 

Timebar

 to find recorded 

video to review. Recorded video per channel is indicated 
by a colored bar. You can move to any point on the 
Timeline by clicking and moving the bar.

5.  (Web browser only) You can view the timebar in larger 

or smaller increments by clicking the 

or

 -

 buttons 

on the top left corner of the Timebar, or by using the 
mouse wheel.

6.  Click the 

Play

 

Icon

 to preview video at the time of  

the event.

Preview Search (Web Browser Only):

Preview Search allows you to see a grid of images that 
show elapsed time on a particular camera. By clicking an 
image, you can narrow the elapsed time range and find 
the desired event very quickly. This is especially useful to 
find events where there is a noticeable difference in the 
image before and after the event, such as when an object 
goes missing or when vandalism occurs.

To Use Preview Search:

1.  On the Menu Bar, click 

Search

.

2.  Click 

Preview Search

 in bottom left corner of window.

3.  Select a camera by clicking on the camera list on the 

right side. Note: Preview Search allows for only one 
camera displayed at a time.

4.  Click on the Date and Time Bar at the bottom of the 

screen to select a date and time to start your search.

5.  Select the Number of Thumbnails, the Time 

Range, and turn the OSD On / Off as desired. Your 
combination of thumbnail quantity and time range will 
determine the time interval between each snapshot 
displayed. For example, 25 thumbnails in a 24 hour 
time range will result in 1 hour time intervals between 
displayed pictures. 

6.  Click on the desired thumbnail to narrow the time 

interval, opening new thumbnails. When the thumbnail 
is narrowed to the smallest time interval, clicking again 
will begin recorded video playback in the Timebar 
Search Screen.
