To define your smart search areas:
1. On the toolbar, click
Delete
to clear the red grid boxes on the screen.
2. Click and drag to select the area you want to search for motion. You will see
a grid of red boxes over the selected area. Repeat this step to highlight more

The DVR will fast-forward the video until it arrives at the section where there
is action on the defined smart search areas. After the DVR finishes playing the
smart motion event, it will fast forward the video again until the next smart
search segment, and so on. Alternatively, you can also click any green segments
on the video timeline to quickly skip ahead to any smart motion event .
