Recorded video (explained)

You view recorded video on the Playback tab of the XProtect Smart Client. When you select the Playback tab, the XProtect Smart Client connects to the surveillance system server and displays recorded video from the cameras in the selected view. In this way, you can play back recorded video.

Particular user rights may be required in order to access the Playback tab, and, depending on your user rights, access to browsing video from some cameras may be restricted.

The Playback tab offers you numerous advanced features for browsing recorded video, including the timeline, smart search (which lets you search for motion in selected areas of recordings from a particular camera), and two types of sequences browsing (either through a simple list with a preview option or through the Sequence Explorer's thumbnail view of multiple sequences).

In addition to the video browsing features, the Playback tab also lets you listen to audio (when connected to selected Milestone surveillance systems only), use hotspots, use digital zoom, navigate fisheye lens images, print images, and export video evidence as AVIs (movie clips), JPEGs (still images) as well as XProtect format.

Tip: To maximize video from a particular position in a view, double-click the camera position. To return to normal view, simply double-click the camera position again.

On the Playback tab, all cameras in a view display recordings from the same point in time (the master time) by default . However, you can view and navigate recordings from individual cameras independently of the master time (if this is enabled in the Settings window).

You can use independent playback to view recorded video from the Live tab or to view video independently of the master time.
