Preview Search
This feature helps to search data through large archives. It breaks the selected range of time into smaller
time increments and displays these increments as separate Items. For instance, it breaks a month period
into ten 3-days periods displaying them as separate Items, which makes it possible to locate a specific
event in one of these periods (then breaking this period into nine 8-hour periods and so on). Finally
location of a specific event in archive may take 3-5 such iterations for initial period of several months.
To perform Preview Search:
1. Select the desired camera on Scene.
2. Select the region to export on Time Scale:
Use Right-Click Drag
Open Context Menu on Time Scale and click Mark Selection Start (or press “[”), then Mark Selection
End (or press “]”)
To clear selection, use the corresponding Context Menu item
Adjust the region by dragging edges to export
To make zooming easier, zoom on Time Line using a Mouse Wheel
