Having selected a period or time interval for messages, it is now possible to access
the respective video data directly by selecting entries within the "Logbook" field
using the mouse or the keyboard. SISTORE MX then automatically shows all
involved cameras for the selected entry in the "Cameras" field. Having selected the
required camera, its picture is shown in the camera window at the start of an event-
triggered recording or the respective alarm image at the start of an alarm
recording.
Recordings can be provided selectively with write protection to prevent them from
being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To do so, first mark a range in the timeline. To provide recordings with write
protection, use either the menu sequence Write protection > Protect area or the
context menu of the Timeline (see Fig. 42). The write protection always applies
only to the range previously marked.
A protected range is displayed in yellow in the timeline.
To remove the write protection again, proceed in the same manner.

For instance, if an event occurs and you are unable to evaluate the sequences
right away, you can protect all previous recordings to prevent them from being
overwritten.
NOTE:
Should SISTORE MX return to you the announcement „Recording stopped - no more disk space
available!", the reason could be the enabled write protection. In that case just remove the write
protection. You can write the recorded sequences to CD/DVD before removing the write protection
(see Section 17.16.1: Generating film sequences and 17.16.2: Burning image sequences to CD/DVD).
After having selected with the mouse a date from the timeline (see Section 17.7:
Timeline display) or an occurrence from the logbook and a corresponding camera,
you can play back a video sequence using various playback keys.
Possible functions are Forwards (
and back( / ). You can also set the playback speed in the „Playback control"
field. See so-called „Scratching" as well in this respect (see Section 17.7: Timeline
display).
