Using Thumbnails for Better Navigation
The Thumbnail feature is a fast and convenient way to navigate through archive. Thumbnails are single
snapshots taken from archived video footage that are displayed on the Time Line. This feature serves as
another useful forensic tool for analyzing video.
To open Thumbnails:
1. Click on the desired Camera.
2. Click on button or point a mouse cursor over the top of Time Line, click and pull it up:
If no Thumbnails are displayed, then there is no archive available for this particular Camera.
Thumbnails panel can be re-sized. To re-size, point a mouse cursor over Time Line, click and pull it up or
down.
The white dots under the pictures point on the exact archive place where the shot has been taken. When
clicking on Thumbnail, the current playback position will jump to the corresponding spot in the archive.
To close Thumbnails, press again or pull the Thumbnails Panel down.
