Chapter 4 Using the System

The blue bars indicate that there are recorded videos during the time periods. If there are no video files recorded during your appointed time, you can not click the time button. Click the desired time button to play back the videos that were recorded during the appointed hour. The blue bar of the selected button will turn in red immediately when you click the time button.

When you play back the recording file, you can use the scroll box to drag it to go forward/backward to the desired video. The system shows the recording resolution of each channel and the frames on the upper left corner of each screen.

When you play the video in 1-Cam mode, you will see some color blocks on the slider. BLUE blocks mean recorded videos are available. Green blocks mean there is detected motion during the time segment. Black blocks mean no data recorded. Yellow blocks mean alert events videos are available.

When you play the video, the DVR system will show the date, time, and play

If you see 1/2 x, 1/4 x, or 1/8 x on the status bar, this means the play speed is 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 times of the normal speed. If you see 2 x, 4 x, or 8 x on the bar, that means the play speed is 2, 4 or 8 times of the normal speed.
