DVR Search - Grabbing Motion Video Clips

When grabbing a video image from a selected camera, keep in the mind the following:

1.If a camera is currently recording live video, the motion grid grabs a still image of what is currently playing on that camera.

2.If a video window is displaying previously recorded video, the motion grid will be populated with a clip from the recorded video that is presently displaying in the window.

3.If two video windows are in progress from the same camera, one is live video, and the other is previously recorded video, the grid grabs a still image from the live video.

4.If no video window is currently open, the system starts the selected camera if it is online, opens a live video window, grabs an image, and displays a frozen image in the grid.

5.If the camera is a PTZ type, the video window opens and the system grabs a still image of whatever is in focus at that moment.

6.If you want to display video for a specific preset area of a PTZ type camera, it is recommended that you conduct a preliminary search on the SP Events tab or General Events tab before setting your parameters on the Motion tab.
