  5. Timeline↗️

The numbers in the screenshot correspond to the sections described below.


       


5. Timeline

The timeline is a blue line at the bottom of the interface. It shows available archives for the selected camera. If you have more than one camera on the screen the timeline will be shown only for the selected camera (one with a colored border).

Darker blue areas indicate events reported by the camera, these include events like motion, line-crossing, intrusion, etc, in other words, all events that are generated by the camera.

Black "gaps" in the timeline indicate periods of time when the camera was not working or did not have an internet connection.

       

       


A timeline is an interactive tool that allows you to quickly navigate through available archives. Clicking anywhere on the timeline will start playback from the selected time period.

The scrubber shows the current playback position. Press the "Center on the scrubber" button to quickly locate the scrubber on the timeline and center the timeline on the screen.


      


Additionally, you can interact with the timeline using shortcut keys. To open the shortcut help use the "Shift" and "/" buttons combination.
