Single-camera archive view mode

To view a single camera archive, do the following:

1. Select the required camera on the cameras panel or on the layout.

2. Click the  button.
   

   By default, the archive that is set as a default archive opens (see Configuring the default archive).

   
   

3. The archive panel is displayed with the following interface elements:
   

   1. Timeline (1). Archive navigation using the timeline in the Web-Client is similar to the video surveillance in the Axxon One Client (see Navigating using the Timeline).

      Similar to the Client (see The Timeline), alarm flags and comment icons are displayed on the timeline.

      
      

   2. Playback control panel (2). The following operations are available for navigating in the archive using the playback panel in the Web-Client:
      —recording playback;
      —stop recording playback;
      —jump to the previous frame;
      —jump to the next frame;
      —jump to the previous recording;
      —jump to the next recording;
      The playback can be fast. You can also change the playback direction (forward/reverse) by dragging the slider on the panel or by clicking the digits. The digits indicate a fold increase of the playback speed. Minus indicates the reverse playback.
      Example of a forward playback with two-fold increase in playback speed:
      
      Example of a reverse playback with two-fold increase in playback speed:
      

      Reverse fast-forward playback of H.264 video is based on key frames, so it isn't smooth. Audio is unavailable during fast forward and reverse playback of the archive video.

      
      

   3. Archive position selection panel (3). The archive position selection panel is opened by left-clicking the date above the timeline (see Archive position selection panel for the Web-Client).

      You can also navigate in the archive using the time indicator similar to the Client (see Navigating using the time indicator).

      
      

4. To select an archive, do the following:
   1. click the name of the current archive;
      
   2. select the required archive.

Multi-camera archive view mode

You can switch all cameras on the layout to the archive mode. To do this, click the button.

You can control the archive viewing using the playback control panel, the same as when viewing the archive of a single video camera.

When all cameras on the layout are in the archive mode, there is no audio playback. To playback the audio, you need to go to the archive of a single camera.

Access to viewing the archive of a camera depends on the settings of user access permissions to the camera (see Roles). If the user permissions are limited, then:

• if there are several cameras with limited access to the archive on the layout, you can view the archive only in the multi-camera archive mode;

• if you click a camera with limited access to the archive in the multi-camera archive mode, you don't go to the single-camera archive mode;
  
  

• if there is only one camera with limited access to the archive on the layout, the buttons for changing the mode (archive, search) aren't displayed;

• if the user is already in the archive mode or in the search in a single camera mode, and selects a camera with limited access to the archive, the user automatically goes to the live view mode for this camera, and the archive/search buttons aren't displayed.
