Playing Back Video

While working with recorded video, the video pane border changes from green to yellow. Each video pane has its own set of playback controls. These controls appear in the lower-left corner when you place your mouse pointer anywhere within a video pane (normally visible in 1 x 1, 2 x 2, or 3 x 3 layout; visible in all layouts in Extended View). These controls do not appear if a camera is not selected. To hide the video controls, move your mouse pointer outside the video pane. If you are watching live video while it is being recorded, click any reverse button to begin reviewing previously recorded video immediately. Figure 51 shows a view pane and the playback controls.
