How to Browse Recordings with the Motion View
Motion view lets you view a graph displaying sequences of recordings from the selected camera.
The motion levels indicated in the graph can be used as an indication of what has been recorded.
To use motion view, click the Motion View icon in the toolbar to open the Motion View
control panel.
To browse recordings using motion view, click inside the graph area, and drag sideways to browse
recordings. The displayed recordings updated when you release the mouse button.
A change in the color of the graph indicates the start of a
new motion sequence. The black vertical line at the
center of the graph indicates the point in time from
which recordings are being displayed in the camera
layout.
How to Browse Recordings with the Alarm
Overview
The alarm overview lets you view a list of video sequences with detected motion or events for a
selected camera. Listed motion sequences or events are clickable, allowing you to quickly jump to
the time at which motion was detected or an event occurred.
What is an event? An event is a predefined incident occurring on the surveillance
system. Depending on the surveillance system's configuration, events may be caused by
input from external sensors, by detected motion, by data received from other applications,
or manually through user input. Typically, most events on the surveillance system are
generated automatically, for example by input from sensors, rather than manually. Events
are used by the surveillance system for triggering actions. For example, a received input
can be defined as an event which in turn triggers an action, such as recording on one or
more of the surveillance system's cameras.
To use the alarm overview, click the Alarm Overview icon in the toolbar to open the Alarm
Overview control panel.
By default, the list shows motion sequences from the most recent database for the selected
camera. If you want to view a list of
sequences from archived databases as
well, click the Alarm Overview control
panel's Get All button.
The Alarm Overview control panel can also display a list of occurred events. To toggle between
displaying a list of motion detections and a list of events, click the Sequences and Events buttons
respectively.
To view recordings from the time at which motion was detected, or an event occurred, select the
required sequence/event in the list. When you select a sequence/event in the list, the camera
layout will display video matching the exact time of the motion detection or event.
