Playback of Recorded Video
4.1 Overview
The playback screen allows you to access all recorded video. You are able to
retrieve recorded video by Date and Time. Additionally, you can apply various
filters to the search. (see 4.5 Filters) Each filter limits the amount of view you
have to review to find exactly what you are looking for.
17

You can view video using the following procedure:
1. Select a camera to view
2. Select any filters you wish to have applied to the search
3. Select a Date and Time
4. Click the Find button.
If no video was found for that camera you will receive a prompt notifying you
that there is nothing to view. Otherwise, the requested video will begin playing
automatically.
4.2 Video Preview
The video review area consists of two sections. On the left is the video preview
area containing snapshots of the activity that occurred around your desired time.
Click on a preview snapshot to begin playing that segment of video. The video
will start in the player section to the right.
If the video you are looking for is not located in the preview area, you can click
the Forward or Back buttons to load another set of previews. By doing this you
are able to quickly step through all recorded video for that camera. As an
example, you may be looking for the time a car had left your parking lot. You
could easily scan through hours of video to determine when the car left, all
without the need to watch the entire video.
4.3 Video Player
From the player section on the right, you are able to control the video with DVD-
like controls. You can Play, Pause, Stop, Rewind and Fast Forward the video. If
you would like to see more detail you can click the Full Screen button. While in
the Full Screen view only the player is visible. This allows for an optimum
viewing experience. When you are ready to exit Full Screen view click the button
again.
4.4 Video Download
One of the ways to save recorded video from the NVS onto your remote viewing
computer is to use the Download button located above the Video Player window.
By clicking this button the video currently playing will be downloaded. A new
window will open allowing you to name the file and select where you would like
it to save. Once you have made your selections click the Save button. Your video
will now be downloaded. Note: This download method will only work from a
remote computer. This button is not available directly on the NVS.

viewing playback. These filters are:
