PLAYBACK CONTROL BAR
The controls operate in a similar fashion to those of a conventional DVR or other video playback device but with a few additional commands available to you:
Playback Progress Bar: The slider moves along the Playback Progress Bar as the video plays. Moving this with the mouse will go to another segment of the video. You can move to another point in a single video by first clicking on that channel and then moving the slider to the desired time. Other channels will continue progressing normally.
Trim: Using this tool allows you to save a segment of the video record rather than having to back up the entire file.
