Playing Back Recorded Video
(Required user access level: ID2/3/4)
You can play back recorded video by specifying the source camera (DVR).
Playback does not affect the DVR’s recording operations (timer and alarm).
b Switching to Playback Mode
When you are in live mode and click (one of playback control buttons), the DVR that is
currently streaming video to the viewing pane is switched to playback mode.
☞
All layouts support playback
All of the viewing pane layouts (single-view, four-view, and multi-view) support playback;
you can switch to playback mode whichever layout you are currently using. Also, you can
switch the layouts during playback.
☞
Playback supports all recording modes
The playback mechanism supports all recording modes (manual, timer, and alarm). It
searches for all recorded video files and plays back the video files in chronological order.
☞
Where playback starts
When you play back recorded video files for the first time, playback starts at the first video
file. From the second time onward, however, playback resumes at the point where you
ended playback.
☞
Operating mode indicator
During playback, the title bar indicates the operating mode and playback speed.
• PLAY: Video is being played back at the original speed. If you change the playback
speed, this indicator is followed by the playback speed.
Example: PLAYx2
• STILL: Playback is currently paused and a snapshot (still image) is displayed.
b Returning to Live Video
When you are in playback mode and click (one of playback control buttons), the camera
(DVR) that is currently playing back the video is switched to live mode.
• When in the multi-view layout, specify the sub-pane connected to the DVR you want
to switch to playback mode by clicking its title bar.
• By designating a group and selecting the “Play” command on the context menu, the
multi-view layout is automatically switched to.
When an alarm-recorded video file is being played back, the title bar is displayed with a
red foreground on a yellow background.
Once you have quit the DVR Utility Software, playback starts at the first video file.
The playback speed indicated is an approximate value, and it does not accurately
represent the actual speed.
