After you find a valid motion event, continue playing the video from that point or
click Search again to jump to the next frame that meets the defined parameters.
SEARCHING FOR ARCHIVED VIDEO USING THE SEARCH PAGE
When you run a search, any results that include video clips that have been saved to
an archive device are listed on the Archive tab on the Search page, with one result
listed per one-minute segment. If you click on one of these search results, the
video is restored to the MasterControl database and listed on the Day and Camera
tabs (and the Events and Alarms tabs, if applicable). You can then click on the
restored clip on one of these tabs for playback, export, and so on.
When you are done viewing restored video, you are responsible for deleting the
video files because MasterControl will never record over them. To automate this
process, enable the Automatically Purge Restored Data Daily option on the Disk
tab.

Adjust the Sensitivity slider to indicate how much of a block must change
from one frame to the next for it to be considered in the Number of Blocks
equation. For example, if you chose a sensitivity of 30%, only 30 percent
of a block would have to change for it to be considered part of a motion
event. Thus, if you adjusted the Number of Blocks slider to 10 of 20, at
least 30 percent of at least 10 of the 20 blocks would have to change for
a frame to be displayed during playback.

Click Search. The first frame in which the defined number of blocks change
the minimum amount is displayed. If you begin a SmartSearch in the
middle of the video segment, the SmartSearch finds the next valid motion
event—it doesn't begin the search at the beginning of the segment.
