View Multi-Channel Recordings Timeline allows for specific-times selection, saving the you the effort of going through all clips to locate your target events. You can simultaneously view clips recorded by different cameras at different times to recreate the action flow of an event, or pinpoint the exact time of a certain incident in your surroundings. 1 Set up a layout. You can either select a layout previously created in Live View or create a new one in Timeline. 2 Launch Timeline and specify a date from the Controller Panel. Surveillance Station will combine a series of recordings clips to be displayed on the timeline bar. Note: 1. Time segments on the timeline will be marked in blue if events have occurred and grey if no events have occurred. 2. Under non-continuous recording modes, it is possible that no recordings will be generated when no events have occurred within the day. In this case, the timeline bar will not be marked, and the system will automatically play recordings from the most recent date. 3 Switch to non-sync mode (the Sync Mode button will turn grey) to display video feeds from different points in time. Each individual camera will have its own timeline. 4 Select a camera, and drag the right timeline cursor to adjust the playback time. Repeat until all cameras are at your ideal timing. 5 You can also locate recordings via Smart Search or Timeline Filter. Smart Search If you are not sure of the exact time of an event, try using Smart Search to locate events. Smart Search can also help you find clips of specific actions such as movement, missing or foreign objects, camera occlusion, focus lost, and no-idle zone. 1 Launch Smart Search from Timeline or Surveillance Station Main Menu. 2 Under Source, select a recording to search through by selecting a server, camera, and date. 3 Move the timeline cursor or use the Seek function to quickly move the cursor to a specific time. 4 Under Configure, specify the search type, sensitivity level, and object type. 5 If you select the Motion detection, Missing object or Foreign object, specify the Detection Zone. 32 Chapter 4: Play Back Video Recordings
