vMax Web Remote Operation
700-0160 R003 3–9
There are two ways to search the DVR for video:
• by the time an event occurred
• by alarm, signal or system events recorded by the DVR
To Search Video from a Time Point
1. Use the Channel Display/Full Screen tools to display all or individual channels.
Each camera’s status is indicated by a color and explained in the color legend
below the 12 display buttons.
2. In the Select drop down menu, select the Record 2 or Record video stream.
The Explorer MX-HD DVR records two streams of video, one for low bandwidth
remote viewing, and one with higher video speed, quality, and resolution settings
for creating archives. When accessing the DVR with vMax Web, the Record 2
video stream is selected for use with low bandwidth connections while viewing
live video.
Higher video speed, quality, and resolution settings will provide clearer pictures
and will require more storage space and longer archiving time. These settings are
adjustable in the Configuration tab's Record menu.
3. In the Search By drop down menu, select Time.
4. Click the Calendar icon to select a start date.
5. Select the start time of the recorded video to view.
6. Click the Play button.
The DVR begins playback of video from the designated or next available time
point.
7. Use the play, pause, fast forward or reverse (up to 32x speed) controls to locate the
event video.
8. Note the event start and end date and time for use on the Archive tab.
