5.9 Preview Search
The Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact moment where an event such
as a theft occurred. The Preview Search basically gives a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a
24 hour period (1 day) into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. The search can then be further narrowed
down into ten minute increments and one minute increments by simply selecting one of the images displayed.
The images in Figure 5.9 show how the Preview Search functions. The first screen that appears has 24 images
displayed. Each image represents the first second of each hour. If there is no image recorded during that period then
nothing will be displayed. When an hour is selected (by double clicking on the image) then a new screen appears with 6
images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of video. Once a 10 minute segment is selected (by
double-clicking on the image) the final screen appears which breaks down that 10 minute segment into 1 minute
increments (10 images).
