Important

• You cannot use rewind or go to previous frame for recordings

in MPEG-4 or H.264 format. Also, the fast forward speed is

fixed at 2x.

• Because image data is being sent from the Storage Server to

the Viewer during playback, playback response and
smoothness depends on factors such as the amount of

network traffic.

• The time displayed on the timeline corresponds to the clock

on the computer where the Viewer is running.

• To play back a recorded video, set a time earlier than the

current time that will allow recording 10 frames*. If you try to

simultaneously record and play back video before 10 frames
have been recorded, playback may be momentarily

interrupted.

* At a recording frame rate of 0.1 fps, 10 frames takes

100 seconds.
At a recording frame rate of 1 fps, 10 frames takes

10 seconds.
