COMMANDS AND FEATURES

The Quick Search dialog box contains the following commands and features:

Timeline: Units of time increase or decrease between months and days, days and hours, hours and minutes, or minutes and seconds. Change the units of time as follows:

•Zoom in: Roll the mouse wheel toward the screen [or turn the Shuttle (outer ring) clockwise] to display a smaller unit of time.

•Zoom out: Roll the mouse wheel away from the screen [or turn the Shuttle (outer ring) counterclockwise] to display a larger unit of time.

Click in the timeline to move forward or backward. [You can also turn the Jog (inner dial) to the right or left to move forward or backward along the timeline.]

Along with stars that indicate a marked event, the graphical indicator for recorded video has four colored-coded bars:

Green: Continuous recording

Red: Alarm recording

Blue: Motion recording

Yellow: Manual recording

You can also locate marked or locked video as follows:

Marked Video: The video timeline is marked with a star so that certain video can be located easily in a Quick or Enhanced Search.

Locked Video: The video timeline shows a white line and brackets that reflect the time range for a locked video clip.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS

Export: Opens the Export dialog box (refer to Working with Cameras on page 42).

Lock/Unlock Toggle: Locks selected video from being deleted. Locked video left on the storage drives reduces the system storage capacity. Unlocking video allows it to be overwritten as part of the normal overwrite process. This icon/label changes to Unlock if you move your timeline cursor above a locked clip. If the video clip is large, the cursor may change to a clock during the locking process. A white line and brackets reflect the time range for the locked video clip.

To lock a clip:

1.Move the slider with the mouse [or Jog (inner dial)] to the beginning of the desired period and press Lock.

2.Move the slider to the end time and press Lock again.

To unlock a locked clip:

1.Position the slider on the locked clip (the white line across the recording bar).

2.Select Unlock.

NOTE: As you set the start and end times, the values are displayed in an information bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.

Play: Starts to play back the video from the cursor position along the timeline. The camera, time, and date are displayed above the timeline, and the dialog box remains open.

Close: Closes the Quick Search dialog box. Video continues to play if you previously pressed Play; otherwise, the video pane remains in the same state as when the Quick Search dialog box was opened.

More: Displays the secondary functions in the Quick Search dialog box (Enhanced Search, Mark, and Snapshot).

SECONDARY FUNCTIONS

Enhanced: Closes the Quick Search dialog box and opens the Enhanced Search dialog box (refer to Enhanced Search on page 31).

Mark: Places a mark on the video so it can be located easily in a Quick or Enhanced Search (refer to Marking an Event on page 35). Mark also updates the Quick Search graph (indicated by a star), and then flashes a message on the information bar to confirm that the marking process is successful.

Snapshot: Stores a snapshot (a still image) on a USB device using the default snapshot format (refer to Manually Recording Video and Audio on page 36). A message flashes on the information bar to confirm the capture.
