To create and send a request to the video archive (By video clips of all cameras mode), you must do the following:

  1. Make sure that the Search in archive component is displayed.
  2. Select an object in the Object name list.
  3. Generate an archive search query, using the following parameters:
    1. Set date and time of search period beginning in the Period from: field.
    2. Set date and time of search period ending in the to: field.

    3. Set the switch into the By video clips of all cameras mode.

      To search by video fragments of a specific camera set the switch into the By video clips of camera mode and specify the camera in the drop-down list.
  4. Click the Search button. If search is successful, the archive results are shown as a list of entries. Only 500 results can be displayed.
  5. The data so obtained can be used to generate an archive query (see Video query).
These data are taken from the Intellect database at the object. Data retention time is configured in the Programming tab, in the Security zone object settings panel, under the Events archive length option (measured in days).
