Search: Playback

The Video Search Details screen.

Recordings for the selected day are shown per channel by time.

Each recording is color-coded to match the recording mode the DVR was

using at the time.

To initiate playback:

•Select the channels you’d like to playback. The DVR can playback up to 8 channels simultaneously, however displaying so many video feeds simultaneously may cause a reduction in playback frame rate from real-time to near-real-time.

•From the Video Type menu, select the type(s) of video you’d like to playback. The options are Manual, Schedule, Motion and All.

•Set your Start Date/Time and your End Date/Time.

•If you want to see a graphical representation of when recordings were made and what recording mode triggered them, choose Details.

•Select Search.

•Choose which event(s) you want to play back, and up to eight cameras you’d like to view the video(s) from.

•To initiate playback, select Play.

Performance and Playback

When playing back multiple channels at once, you may notice that they’re not quite“in sync”and, in extreme cases, may be displayed in near real-time (instead of real-time).

Why?

The DVR only has so much processing power, and we’ve configured it so that it has more resources dedicated to recording than to playback.

While you’re playing back footage, the DVR continues to monitor and record normally. Recording from up to four/eight channels simultaneously is so resource intensive that playback performance may be sacrificed to ensure ongoing reliable recording.
