Pan-Temporal Time Line

Pan-Temporal Time Line is a convenient way to navigate through Live and Archive footage (below).

Pan-Temporal Time Line - 1

The current time is indicated by Position Slider. The very right position indicates that Live video is currently played back. If slider is moved to the left, the playback automatically is switched to the Archive.

Time Scale is displayed on the bottom of the Time Line. It contains marks indicating the time. Time Scale can be zoomed in and out by mouse wheel or zoom_timeline buttons at the left. This is extremely useful when trying to find a particular event navigating through a long period of time. Double Click on Time Line Scroller (the very bottom) to fully zoom out.

Time Line can display Local or Server time (specified in System Settings). To change the setting:

1.Open Main Menu and choose System Settings

2.Use the Timeline Mode setting in Look and Feel:

Pan-Temporal Time Line - 2

3.Click OK when done or Cancel to discard changes.

note Note: Export and Preview Search features will depend on this settings as well. This setting does not affect Recording Schedule (always based on Media Server Time).

Time Line’s color indicators:

Black – empty space (no recording took place in this period of time)

Green – represent recorded fragments

Red – motion regions. Displayed only if Smart Search is active. See “Performing Smart Search”.

It is possible to navigate through recorded fragments only. When moving Position Slider to the black area (no recording), it will jump to the next available recorded fragment. If several live Cameras are currently displayed, all recorded fragments are combined on Time Line (in the lower All Cameras line).
