Overview

The camera timeline provides a quick way to review recorded footage, investigate events, and create video clips. By displaying color-coded events along a searchable timeline, it helps you efficiently navigate historical video, jump to specific dates and times, and filter the types of events shown. This article explains how to use the timeline's navigation, zoom, search, and event management features in the Rhombus Web Console.

Navigate the Timeline

To navigate through recorded footage, click the arrows on the left and right of the timeline. The arrows move forward or backward through the timeline in increments based on the current zoom level. Zooming in results in smaller time intervals, while zooming out moves through larger intervals.

You can also click anywhere on the timeline to jump directly to that point in the recorded footage. Selecting a seek point on the timeline will take you directly to the corresponding event in the video.

Zoom In or Out

To view events in greater detail, click the icon to zoom in on the timeline. To zoom out, click the icon.

Jump to a Date and Time

If you know the exact date and time of an event, you can jump directly to it. Click the calendar or clock icon on the right side of the timeline, enter the desired date and time, and the timeline will navigate directly to the corresponding footage.

Manage Event Types

To add or remove event types displayed on the timeline, click the icon on the lower-left side of the timeline, then select the events you want to show.

Note: An event type appears on the timeline only if an event of that type occurred within the currently selected time range.
