The Playback Screen
Bottom of the Screen
Dates/Times, Magnifiers, and
Coloured Bands
- All recordings in the selected date/time-range
are indicated graphically as coloured bands at
the bottom of the screen.
The coloured bands indicate different types of
recordings in the selected time-range.
• Red: A motion / alarm-triggered recording;
• Light Blue: A pre-alarm recording (immediately
before motion was detected);
• Yellow: A manual / instant recording;
• Green: A scheduled recording.
You can change the dates/times as desired, or
use the 'magnifying glasses' to zoom into a
smaller date/time range (near the file being
viewed), or return to the full range.
- Frame (snapshot buttons): These allow
grabbing a video frame for viewing or printing.
