Click on the required date on the calendar and all available data for that date will populate the section below in 1-minute sections. You can refine these results by filtering for a specific time range.

You can see in the image to the right we have refined our search to a 5 minute period.

To play a video file, simply click on the minute you want to view and the video from all cameras at that time will play automatically. If you want to view one camera in full screen, simply double click on that channel.

1. To backup video, ensure that you have filtered your search down to the correct date and times required, then click the ‘backup’ icon from the menu at the bottom of the screen.
