Particular user rights may be required in order to access the Playback tab, and, depending on your
user rights, access to browsing video from some cameras may be restricted.
The Playback tab offers you numerous advanced features for browsing recorded video, including the
timeline (see "Time navigation" on page 119), smart search (which lets you search for motion in
selected areas of recordings from a particular camera), and two types of sequences browsing (either
through a simple list with a preview option or through the Sequence Explorer (on page 123)'s
thumbnail view of multiple sequences).
In addition to the video browsing features, the Playback tab also lets you listen to audio (when
connected to selected Milestone surveillance systems only), use hotspots, use digital zoom (on page
109), navigate 360° lens images (see "PTZ and 360º lens images" on page 111), print images (see
"Print evidence" on page 131), and export video evidence (see "XProtect format settings" on page
142) as AVIs (movie clips), JPEGs (still images) as well as XProtect format.
Tip: To maximize video from a particular position in a view, double-click the camera position. To return
to normal view, simply double-click the camera position again.
On the Playback tab, all cameras in a view display recordings from the same point in time (the master
time) by default . However, you can view and navigate recordings from individual cameras
independently of the master time (if this is enabled in the Options (see "Functions options" on page
98) window).
You can use independent playback to view recorded video from the Live tab or to view video
independently of the master time.
View recorded video using independent playback
You can only use this feature for ordinary single-camera positions, not for hotspots, carousels, or
Matrix positions.
