Search recorded video
You can search recorded video using the Sequence Explorer, the Recording Search (see "Search
using the Recording Search pane" on page 133) pane, or Smart Search (see "Search using the
Smart Search pane" on page 134) pane.
On the Playback tab, you can use the Recording Search pane to quickly search for recorded
sequences or bookmarks for a single selected camera or for all cameras in a view. Alternatively, you
can use the Smart Search pane to search for motion in one or more selected areas of recordings from
a particular camera.
Smart search cannot be used for video from 360° lens cameras. Depending on your user rights,
access to smart search may be restricted.
Search using the Recording Search pane
1. On the Playback tab, in the Recording Search pane, select either Sequences or
Bookmarks.
2. For bookmarks, select the search criteria you are interested in, for example, time, your
bookmarks only, or content from the bookmark's Bookmark ID, Headline and Description
fields.
3. Select whether you want the search to include only the selected camera or all cameras in the
view.
4. Click Search. This will retrieve a list of results. The sequence closest to the time you have
selected for the view appears in the middle of the list. Sequences or bookmarks from before
the time you have selected appear above, and ones from after, below. Each sequence is listed
with camera information, date, and time. Selecting a sequence in the list moves all video in the
view to the time of the selected sequence.
5. To display more details about each sequence or bookmark in the list, select Show details. For
sequences, this displays the date and time of the first image in the sequence (green flag), the
last image (checkered flag), and the motion detection, event, that triggered the recording
(yellow flag). For bookmarks, Show details, displays additional information, consisting of an
image from the bookmark time as well as a detailed description (if one is available).
6. To quickly preview the video when you place your mouse over the bookmark or sequence in
the list, select Auto-preview.
