Search
Clicking on the Search tab at the top of the monitoring window will open the Search window.
This operates along the same lines as the Search function described in Section 4.5 Search
and Playback in the User Manual.
STEP 1. Enter the date and time range
for the event you’re searching for.
You can also select the type of event
as well as enable multi-channel
playback.
STEP 2. Click on Search and the files
that meet your criteria will be listed at
the bottom of the window.
At this point, you can either play back or save
the files.
Pressing the Playback button will close the Search window and will add a Playback bar at
the bottom of the screen below the row of Image View buttons. Like in the NVR itself, each
playback can be individually controlled. The screen with the green highlight will be the one that
is controlled.
That camera’s icon will also be highlighted in
green on the left hand side of the screen.
You can switch between multi-screen modes
as well as to single-screen mode during
playback. Double clicking on a video stream
will bring it to single-screen mode just as in
live view.
If you return to the Search window after playback, it will still retain your previous search results.
You may select another file for playback or enter new search parameters.

Saving
Selecting a file and pressing Download will open the save dialog box. The system will append
the date, start and end times to the file name just as when saving directly from the NVR. The
files will be saved as .dav formatted videos which must be converted using the General Player
software included on the CD that came with the NVR before they can be played by other
software.
You cannot save a video file that you are
currently playing back. You will have to end
playback before selecting it for download.
In addition to playing back files saved on your computer using the Local Play button on the
left of the screen, you can also select Open Local Record to do so as well.

There is no difference in the operation of the
playback by using either option.
Alarm
Clicking the Alarm tab at the top of the
screen will open the Alarm window where you
can configure any connected alarms as well
as setting when alarms occur. This is identical
to the methods used to set these features
on the NVR itself. Please see Chapter 7
Alarms in the User Guide for instructions.
