The Timeline provides a simple way to visualize events chronologically. Recordings from all devices are arranged in order. Swipe or click and drag with the mouse to navigate or use the mouse wheel or pinch gestures to zoom in and out. Click on an activity bar on the timeline to start playback. Click on a thumbnail of the camera to start a mini live feed.

Note: The timeline does not show cameras which don't have any recordings.

Tips:

  • To start playback of a recording at a specific time you can move the timeline so the left-most timestamp in the UI shows the time you want. Click on a recording under this and playback will start and seek to that point in time.
  • Timelapse recordings are displayed alongside regular recordings but only take up half the available height within the slot.
  • Recordings are color coded according to how much peak motion was detected. Bright red bars indicate high levels of movement.
  • Zoom in far enough and Agent will display thumbnails for the recordings when there is enough space.
  • Click on a recording to enter playback mode.
  • When you start playback a marker line is added to the timeline so you can keep track of the last recording you viewed for each device.
  • If your screen is wide enough Agent will display live thumbnails of your devices on the left. Icons may also display - see recordings for an explanation of the icons.
  • Click on a live device thumbnail (if displayed) to show a mini live feed (video and audio). You can drag this live feed around the screen to move it away from other controls. Click the thumbnail again to exit the mini player.
