Important
• You cannot use rewind or go to previous frame for recordings
in MPEG-4 or H.264 format. Also, the fast forward speed is
fixed at 2x.
• Because image data is being sent from the Storage Server to
the Viewer during playback, playback response and
smoothness depends on factors such as the amount of
network traffic.
• The time displayed on the timeline corresponds to the clock
on the computer where the Viewer is running.
• To play back a recorded video, set a time earlier than the
current time that will allow recording 10 frames*. If you try to
simultaneously record and play back video before 10 frames
have been recorded, playback may be momentarily
interrupted.
* At a recording frame rate of 0.1 fps, 10 frames takes
100 seconds.
At a recording frame rate of 1 fps, 10 frames takes
10 seconds.
