Instant Replay
The Instant Replay feature allows you to quickly pull up the last few moments of a given
camera's most recent recording.
What is Instant?
This feature is best used in 24x7 continuous recording environments. If you have sporadic
alarm-only triggered recordings, then 'instant' may be several minutes or hours ago. While
there is merit to that usage, it can be confusing for a new user. In a continuous recording
environment, 'instant' is truly instant, since there is always up-to-the-second recording
available.
Configure Instant Replay
1. In the Setup screen, click on the General tab.
2. Set the Default Instant Replay Time setting. The maximum value is 300 seconds, or 5
minutes.
3. A value of 10 would mean that you start replay from 10 seconds prior to the end of the
most recently available recording.
Using Instant Replay
1. Select a display screen area.
2. Click the Replay button.
3. Enter the Group or Camera Name in the Instant Replay panel.
4. Click Play.
5. You can change the Instant Replay time on the panel, and set it back to the configured
default using the Reset button.
6. To exit Instant Replay, simply click the Replay button again.
Note: Using Instant Replay on a Group of more than 4 cameras is not recommended, as this
can easily affect the system performance. This depends on the Client and Server machines
capacity for streaming and rendering multiple video streams rapidly. Contact your hardware
vendor for more details.
