Histogram Area

The Histogram Area in the Preview Mode displays events that occurred previously as red bars, which represent the time and value of the event. Currently displayed events are represented by green bars and the selected event with blue bars. If you want to access the histogram area, you must change the Area Selection Indicator to the Histogram Area. You can select a color-inverted region by dragging your mouse with the left button pressed.

When you release the left button, the color-inverted region will be enlarged to the whole Histogram Area. This color-inverted region will be the new period the program is going to display. If you change your mind and don’t want to see that period, you can cancel it by just pressing the right button of your mouse with the left button still pressed. If you click on the left button without dragging it, the display area will show the event page closest to the point you select. The dark region means there is no video sequence in that interval. If you click on these dark regions a warning dialog will appear to inform there is no video sequence available.

Location Selector

The location selector is a control that lets you select the camera you want to see. The location information is the same as the location specified in the monitor program (see Global Settings in the Monitor program section). If there is more than one database in the same location, another dialog will appear (see below). You must select an interval in that dialog. The Playback program will automatically switch to that camera and start displaying.
