Event Log Search

The DVR maintains a log of each time the Alarm Input port is activated. The Event Log Search screen displays this list. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the event for which you would like to see video.

There is no determined user authority to display the Event Log Search screen, however, the event video will not be played unless a user with Search authority logs into the system.

NOTE: It is possible that no recorded image displays on the current screen. Change the screen mode to 3x3, for the 8-channel DVR and 2x2 for the 4-channel DVR and you will be able to easily see the cameras that have recorded video during target time.

You can also narrow your event search by selecting the Option… button and setting up the new search condition.

You can search video from the first to last recorded images, or you can set the start and stop times and dates.

Highlight the box beside From and press the button to toggle between On and Off. When set to Off, you can enter a specific Date and Time. When set to On, the search will be from the first recorded image.
