3.2 PLAYBACK
Once you’ve selected your video(s), you can control the playback in the same manner as using a VCR or
computer’s media playback software using the controls below the video screen.
You can also play in reverse as well as forward, frame-by-frame movement and multiple playback
speeds.
Double-clicking on a screen in a multi-channel display format will switch to a single-channel display.
Double-clicking again will enlarge it to full screen mode, hiding the Search area on the right and the
Video Indicator and Progress bar below, although the latter will pop up if the mouse is moved to the
bottom of the screen. Double-clicking a third time will revert back to the multi-channel display mode
that you had selected. Right-clicking when in single screen or full-screen mode will reverse the process.
Right-clicking while in your original viewing mode will end the video playback.
Most of the time, the control buttons affect the video on all screens in a multi-channel display.
Unchecking the Sync box at the bottom of the screen will allow independent control of each channel.
In this case, the controls will only affect the screen highlighted in green. Click once on a camera’s view
to select that channel. It should also be noted that certain functions only work - or work best - in single-
channel viewing mode.

Start, Stop and Play
Clicking either of the Play buttons will start the playback in the desired direction. The button’s icon will
change to a Pause icon to allow you to freeze the playback as needed. If you have Sync unchecked,
clicking Stop will end the playback of the video in the selected screen while any other videos will
continue to play. Otherwise, Stop will end the video playback on all screens.
Frame Advance/Reverse
These buttons are only active when the playback has been paused. They allow you to move forward or
backward in 2-second increments.
Slow/Fast Play
There are four speed settings for each button. Clicking these buttons will increasingly slow or speed up
the playback as appropriate. When the after the fourth setting is reached, a subsequent click will return
the playback to normal speed. You can also decrease the effect of one button on speed by clicking the
other. Example: With playback set on “Fast 3”, you can slow it down to “Fast 2” by clicking on the Slow
Play button.
Volume
If you have a microphone-equipped camera or a microphone co-located with your camera you can play
back any audio that was recorded along with the video. Adjust the volume with the slider as needed.
