The Playback screen (see the example below) lets you find, view, and manage recorded video clips that are stored on your computer's hard drive.
The Playback panel consists of:

• Camera viewing windows

• Calendar

• Camera playback controls

• Video timeline

Camera viewing windows

The playback control panel provides multiple options for displaying your videos (see answer 360023186294 for more information):

• Single camera view shows one camera display.

• Four cameras view shows up to four cameras.

  NOTE: If you have less than four cameras, some screens will appear as blank displays.

• All cameras view shows up to six cameras.

  NOTE: If you have more than six cameras, only six will be displayed at a time. If you have less than six, only active cameras will be displayed (there won't be blank displays).

Each viewing window provides access to different functions for the video. See answer 360023186294 for more information on the controls available with the options bar on the playback screen.

Calendar

The calendar lets you locate and play recorded video clips by browsing through dates in a calendar interface. Click the right arrow to advance one month or the left arrow to go to the previous month.

Click any date on the calendar to view the video recordings for that day (the current day is highlighted in blue). All videos for that day will display in the video timeline window.

NOTE: If you select a day that has no recordings, none will display on the timeline.

Playback controls

After you've selected a video segment you want to view, use the playback controls to play, pause, adjust speed, and step through video segments. When you place your cursor over a control, a tool tip displays the name of the control.

Video timeline

The video timeline lets you identify which cameras have recorded video clips, and what time of day the video was taken.

Features of the video timeline include:

• List of cameras (and their functions)

  • A list of cameras on the network displays on the left side of the video navigation window.

  • By default, all cameras are "Active," and you can view any of their video recordings.

    NOTE: You can hide cameras from the video timeline to focus on viewing the video for a specific camera.

  • The eye icon () to the left of the camera name shows that the camera is active, and its recorded videos will play in the Playback video windows.

  • To hide a camera and its video recordings, click the eye icon. When a camera is hidden, the eye icon is grayed out ().

• Using the red timeline bar

  • When the Playback screen first opens, the vertical red bar in the video segments window is at the current time of the day.

  • When viewing video, the red timeline bar is at the current time of the video when you're watching.

  • Click the red timeline bar and drag it left or right to find the video recorded at a specific time or date.

  • Click anywhere on the window and the red timeline bar will go directly to that spot.
