The Player – Overview

The Player provides a quick and easy way to search for recordings and to play them back. Simply activate the playback mode and start the playback (forward/backward) or use the and buttons (previous image/next image) to browse the recordings. 

Depending on whether you want to browse the recordings for specific events, or whether you are looking for incidents at certain times, you can either select the appropriate playback mode or you can choose a date and time and then select the playback mode. When browsing the events in playback mode, you can select a recording type (e.g., only event images) and then use the playback buttons to navigate through the filtered recordings. When looking for incidents at certain points in time, you can either search for a specific time or you can perform a search using "time leaps" and time-lapse playback. It is also possible to position the playback of the recording on a specific date and time and then pin down this time to quickly find out if other cameras have recorded more incidents at the same point in time. The recordings can be played back forward or backward in different speeds, which makes searching for individual events easier.

Example: Your camera monitors a parking lot from which a car had been stolen during the day. To quickly find the event, you can follow this procedure: Activate the playback mode and select an interval (e.g., 1 day ). Keep clicking on previous image until the car is in the image. Select a shorter interval (e.g., 1 hour ). Keep clicking on Next image until the car has disappeared from the image. Keep on using shorter intervals, until you have found the exact point in time of the incident.
