Searching for Recorded Video
The DVR5100 offers two options to search for recorded video:
• Quick Search: Allows you to search for video by camera, date, and time.
• Enhanced Search: Allows you to search for video on multiple cameras, date and time ranges, and can be refined to include only specific
recording types on specific cameras.
QUICK SEARCH
Quick Search provides a simple interface to conduct searches based on time and date for a single camera (by default, the camera you are
viewing). Refer to Commands and Features on page 30 for descriptions of the Quick Search dialog boxes.
