Playback Control
Playback provides easy video control, just like a DVD player, except that you can view
multiple videos at once.
Hover over the buttons to see their label. The following list is in order from left to right:
Playback Time Indicator: Shows the time for the currently selected playback video in 24
hr format.
Jump Controls: The arrow keys on your PC keyboard can be used to skip quickly through
video playback. The jump time is displayed here.
Left Arrow: Jump in reverse
Right Arrow: Jump forward
Up Arrow: Increase jump time to 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 1 hour.
Down Arrow: Decrease jump time to 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 1 hour.
Clip Mode: Click the Clip Mode button to start selecting a section of video and exporting
it as a video file for later viewing.
Seek: Displays a precise time selector so you can go directly to a precise recording time
for the currently selected camera.
Rewind: Rewinds or reverses playback. Click the button and choose the reverse speed
from the menu. During Rewind, we show only I Frames.
When video is Paused, this button is used to skip to the previous frame.
Backplay: Plays the video in reverse, starting with the nearest I Frame. This is useful for
analyzing detailed motion and hand movements.
Play / Pause: Starts the playback of the selected recordings (if paused or stopped).
Fast Forward: Click the button and choose the speed from the menu. Note that 16x
shows only I Frames of the video, while 2x, 4x, and 8x speed is smooth.
When video is Paused, this button is used to skip to the next frame.
Stop: Stops playback completely. Playback continues from the beginning again after
clicking Stop.
Play All: Starts playback on all screens that are currently paused or stopped.
Sync Play: Click the Sync Play button to make all currently playing cameras sync to the
time of the selected playback screen. You now have the exact same time playing on all
cameras, so you can get a complete picture of all activity at a crucial point in time.
Note: Using Sync Playback on more than 4 cameras is not recommended, as this can
negatively affect the system performance. This depends on the Client and Server
