The Playback Interface

Advanced Configuration

The Playback interface is quite similar to a computer’s media player, or to the on-screen display of a DVD/Blu-ray player.

Most of the controls are quite straight forward, and operate in the same way as a standard media player.

Current Position: A basic progress meter. You can click to move the current position icon to quickly scan through video events.

Volume Control: Alters the output volume of playback.

Rewind: Reverses the footage.

Play: Plays footage at normal speed.

Pause / Step: Pauses playback but retains still images on- screen. Subsequent presses will move a single frame forward in the video. This will usually be 1/30th (NTSC) or 1/25th (PAL) of a second.

Fast-Forward:Speeds up playback.

Slow: Plays back footage at reduced speed. Press multiple

times to further reduce the speed: 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed, 1/8th speed, 1/16th speed and so on.

Recording Type: Whether the video being played back was recorded under normal recording (blue) or based on motion or an alarm event (red).

Hide Console: Maximizes the area on-screen for playing back your footage by hiding the on-screen controls.

Exit Playback: Leaves the playback interface and returns to the live viewing mode.

Remember: Playback Limitations

While you’re playing back footage, the DVR continues to monitor and record normally.

Simultaneously recording and playing back footage from many channels at once is extremely resource intensive. If the DVR is simultaneously recording/monitoring multiple channels and playing back multiple channels at once, there may be a slight reduction in performance from real-time to near-real-time.
