General information

The timeline is a graphical representation of the time axis of the archive and is located in the middle part of the navigation panel. To display a timeline on the navigation panel, you must switch to the Archive mode of the selected camera (see Switching to the Archive mode). Starting with Axxon One 2.0.8, if no camera on a layout is in the Archive mode, timelines aren't displayed on the navigation panel.

You can scroll and zoom the timeline using the mouse. To scroll the timeline, move the cursor on its background vertically while holding down the left mouse button. To change the scale of the timeline, right-click the timeline's background and, while holding down the right mouse button, move the cursor down to zoom out or up to zoom in.

The timeline lets you select at which moment to start playback of a recording in the Surveillance window. To choose at which moment to begin playback, you can either left-click the indicator and hold it down while dragging it to the required position, or just left-click the left part of the timeline.

If there is no recording in the selected position, the indicator automatically moves to the position corresponding to the nearest recording.

Note

  • You can set a timeline indicator in the required position by specifying the exact date and time (see Navigating using the Timeline).
  • You can also position the timeline indicator with the help of the events list (see Events List).

Timeline indicators

The timeline contains indicators of the presence of recordings—tracks.

Tracks are marked in different colors depending on the archive status:

Condition

Track color

Archive absent (1)

Black

Archive present (2)

White

Archive present, input or detector activated (no alarm) (3)

Blue

Archive present, alarm active (4)

Red

Note

Pre-alarm recordings are white on the timeline, post-alarm recordings are blue.

A track can be replaced by another track when they match in time. The following priority system is used:

  1. If there is a video in the archive, then red track has the highest priority and a white track has the least priority.
  2. Blue track has a higher priority than a white track.

Display of alarms on a timeline

At the moment when an alarm is assigned a status (confirmed, suspicious, false, or skipped), a flag is added to the track. A flag is added to the point on the timeline when the alarm began.

The flag is colored according to the alarm status:

  1. Green—false alarm.
  2. Yellow—suspicious situation.
  3. Red—confirmed alarm.
  4. Gray—skipped alarm.

Note

Display of certain alarm events on the timeline is determined by the filter settings (see Events filter).

Operator comments are displayed with the corresponding icons on the track. An icon is placed on the timeline at the point corresponding to the commented frame (or to the first frame of the interval, if the comment is added for an interval).

If comments were left during alarm processing, the icons are displayed in the appropriate colors.
