WORKING WITH ARCHIVED VIDEO
To control a DX9000 DVR, you must belong to, and be logged in under, a user group that grants you the necessary privileges. Your system
administrator should instruct you in what privileges you have.
NOTE: To access DX9000 DVR controls, the DX9000 driver must be running. If the DX9000 DVR icons appear as a hollow outline, notify your
system administrator that the device driver is not running.
Selecting Archived Video
1. Click the custom window you want to view video in and press Alt-Space Bar. Alternatively, if the window has a Windows title bar, right-
click the title bar. The custom window drop-down menu opens.
2. Select Archived Video from the drop-down menu. If a camera is currently switched to the window and the camera is connected to more
than one archiving device, a drop-down list of archiving devices opens; select the desired DX9000 DVR from the list.
The DX9000 gadget appears in the window’s control bar. If there is archived video for the currently switched camera, the archived video
from that camera appears. VMX300(-E) cues the video to the date/time selected in the window’s Event Picker if one is selected; otherwise,
VMX300(-E) cues the video at or near the current time.
