QUICK REVIEW
The Go button above the video panes (refer to Figure 33) allows you to quickly view recently recorded video. Use the drop-down arrow to select
video from the previous 1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. When you click Go
, video from the selected time frame is displayed for each currently
selected camera. You can scroll through the video using the slider on the time line at the top of the screen.
To view video from a time frame before the previous 60 minutes, perform a search on the Event History or Recorded Video page (refer to Event
History Page on page 42 and Recorded Video Page on page 44).
ZOOMING INTO VIDEO
To zoom into a video pane, left-click the pane to highlight it. Each additional click increases the size of the video in the pane by a factor of two
(cropped to fit the video pane) and re-centers the pane in the direction of the click. Right-clicking reverses the zoom.
