Histogram Area
Dark Region
The histogram area in the normal display (single frame) mode only shows the
events' occurred time and the percentage of motion detection with red bars. If
you want to access the histogram area, you must change the area selection
indicator to the histogram area. You can mark one time interval you want to see
with a color-inverted region by dragging your mouse with the left button pressed
(as shown above). When you release the left button, the color-inverted region
will be enlarged to the whole histogram area. This color-inverted region will be
the new period the program is going to display. If you change your mind and
don't want to see that period, you can cancel it by just pressing the right button
of your mouse with the left button still pressed. If you click on the left button
without dragging it, the action will be the same as clicking on the pull bar in the
same x-axis position. That means the playback system will shift to the pointed
time and show video on the displaying frame. Besides, the dark regions in the
histogram area mean there is no exisiting video data in that interval. If you click
on those regions, nothing will happen except a warning message will pop up.
