Browsing across a selected recording segment uses playback controls.
The 
button starts playing back the selected recording segment, the 
button stops playback.
When the button is left-clicked, the fast-forward playback is performed, when right-clicked – rewind playback. Only the current selected record of archive is playing back on short-time pressing the button . Hold the button to start playing pack the next record after the end of playing back the previous record.
It is possible to change the way playback is controlled so that by short click on the left mouse button the recordings are played back continuously, and by long click only one selected recording is played back. For this the LButtonClickContinuousPlayEnable registry key can be used (see Registry keys reference guide). |
The 
and 
buttons increase or decrease the frame rate or slide show rate in the pause mode.
Speed-up or speed-down level is displaying in the place of the button while fast or slow motion. Maximally allowable speed-up is not limited, maximally allowable speed-down is 8-fold.
When there is fast archive playback in the H264 and MPEG4 formats, then only key frames are played back. |
When hovering the mouse cursor over the playback control panel, the playback speed can be controlled using the mouse wheel. The playback speed changes smoothly as follows:
If playback is not started, then when hovering the mouse cursor over the playback control panel, mouse wheel scrolling allows switching between the archive recordings (see Video sequence browsing).
If the cursor is hovered over the video, then mouse wheel scrolling scales the video (see Window scaling). It is possible to enable playback speed control using the mouse wheel regardless of the cursor position in the Surveillance window - see the description of the MonitorPlaybackControlByMouseWheel registry key in the Registry keys reference guide. Also, this key enables pausing/resuming playback by clicking the mouse wheel. However, this action is no longer used to control telemetry (see Mouse PTZ control).
To shift to the pause mode, press the 
button, to restore playback – press the button.
