Playback: Normal
To initiate playback:
Analog: Select the camera that you'd like to playback. Up to
16 cameras can be selected.
Start/End time of record: This will display the start time
and date and the end time and date from when the DVR
was first configured to record video. This will typically be
the first day that you setup and configured the DVR right
through to the current day. If you have recently formatted
the hard drive, the start time and date will be displayed
from that day.
Record Type: Select the type(s) of video you'd like to
playback. The options are Normal, Motion, Alarm, Motion
| Alarm, Motion + Alarm, Manual and All.
File Type: Select from Unlocked, Locked and All.
Start Time: Set your start date and time.
End Time: Set your end date and time.
Select Search.
Choose which event(s) you want to play back, and up
to 16 cameras you'd like to view the video(s) from.
To initiate playback, select Play.
There are two additional options that you can also select -
Detail: This will display a graphical representation of the
type of video recorded. Each record type is color coded, for
example Normal is blue, Motion is green.
Playback: To playback all normal and event recordings from
each camera at the same time. You can forward, rewind
and pause playback. Double-clicking any of the available
cameras will display it full-screen. Double-click again to exit
full screen playback.

When you click the Search button, the Search result dialog
box will appear as above. You will see a list of video files
located on the hard drive, according to the search criteria
that you selected. Select a file and click the Play button to
play the video. If you would like to keep the video so it is not
deleted by the overwrite option (see page 41), press the
Lock button to lock the file. Press the Lock button again to
unlock the file.
While you're playing back footage, the DVR continues to
monitor and record normally. Recording from multiple
channels simultaneously is so resource intensive that
playback performance may be sacrificed to ensure
ongoing reliable recording.
When we say "near real-time", this doesn't mean things will
be in slow motion. Rather, the action will unfold at normal
speed, but be represented by half the number of frames per
second (12.5fps/PAL or 15fps/NTSC).
