Performance and Playback
When playing back multiple channels at once, you may notice that they're not quite "in sync" and, in extreme cases, may be
displayed in near real-time (instead of real-time).
Why?
The DVR only has so much processing power, and we've configured it so that it has more resources dedicated to recording than
to playback.
While you're playing back footage, the DVR continues to monitor and record normally. Recording from up to four channels
simultaneously is so resource intensive that playback performance may be sacrificed to ensure ongoing reliable recording.
The Video Search Details
Recordings for the selected day are shown per
channel by time.
Each recording is color-coded to match the
recording mode the DVR was using at the time.
