Work with Timeline
Surveillance Station allows you to locate the actual recorded footage via Timeline and calendar support. The
calendar lets you pick any date to show the day’s recording. Using Event Timeline, you can easily identify events
recorded in different modes, labeled by color on the timeline.
During an event playback, you can activate Smart Search to track down suspicious targets. Smart Search is an
intelligent feature that helps you analyze past event effectively and eliminate any potential false alarms. For more
information about Timeline playback, click the figure icon at the top-right corner and then click Help.
Play Events with Timeline
Click the Timeline tab to see the timeline page, which offers the Multiple-Event Playback function, which allows
you to simultaneously watch events recorded on one day or at the same time by different cameras. All event
videos are lined up in the timeline. You can easily find the event you are looking by clicking a specific time on this
day or during the hour, and play it with the event player on this page. For more information, click the figure icon at
the top-right corner and then click Help.
Search for Specific Situations with Smart Search
Click the search icon at the bottom-left corner of the timeline page to enter the Smart Search mode. With Smart
Search, you can search events for specific situations such as general movement or missing/foreign objects on
the screen. If the camera lens was occluded or lost its focus by people trying to avoid surveillance, Smart Search
can also help you find out when the situations happened. For more information, click the figure icon at the top-
right corner and then click Help.
