How to View Archived Recordings
Note: Viewing of archived recordings is primarily of interest when the Viewer is used on the
surveillance system server. Even when the Viewer is used on the surveillance system server,
certain archive viewing options are only available when the Viewer is used with particular Milestone
surveillance systems.
For archived recordings stored locally or on network drives, you simply use the Viewer's browsing
features—for example the timeline browser or the playback controls—for finding and viewing the
required recordings; just like you would with recordings stored in a camera's regular database.
