Notice that when the Viewer window is open, the live camera window is moved to the lower-
right hand corner. If you have more than one camera, you may cycle through them by double-
clicking on the "Cameras" window title bar. If you click on the live video image, the viewer will
be closed.
The Clip List
The clip list is located to the right of the Cameras window:
As alerts and clips are created, "thumbnail" images are created on the clip list. The clip list has
a vertical scroll bar, and zoom in/out buttons. When you zoom out, more clips and their
associated thumbnails will fit into the clip list window before it becomes necessary to use the
scroll bar. However, a number of graphical clip features are only visible in the fully "zoomed-
in" view.
To the right of the thumbnail image, you will find the camera name and time of
capture. Beneath that is the duration and file size. A green bar is displayed to graphically
show the clip's size relative to others in the folder. This allows you to see at a glance which
clips are longest or occupying the greatest amount of disk space. Finally, there are three icons
that may possibly be displayed: Protected, Audio, and Archive. If the clip is marked as
Protected, it will not be moved automatically, deleted or recycled according to the automatic
clean-up rules (discussed below). If the clip has the Audio icon, it has an audio track. If the clip
has the Archive icon, it will be copied to your web archive.
Click on a clip's thumbnail to "select" the clip. Once you've done this, you can use the arrow
keys on your keyboard to move up and down in the list. Now, press Enter, or double-click a
clip to "open" the clip for viewing. More than one clip may be selected at a time by holding
down the Ctrl key as you click on different clips. If you click on one clip, then click on another
while holding the Shift key, all of the clips in-between the two will be selected.
Clip Folders
There are three main folders created for you:
