Overview

The timeline can be found at the bottom of a camera's Field of View (FOV). It allows you to search through past footage, search for events, and create clips. The timeline records all the events captured by the camera. These events are color-coded with a legend stating the event type on the bottom.

Using the Timeline

If you want to search through footage, click on the arrows highlighted in red below. This will allow you to navigate through past footage. The arrows will jump you either forward or backward in time, in intervals based on how zoomed into the timeline you are.

Zoom In/Out of the Timeline

To zoom into the timeline to get a more granular look at the events picked up by the camera, click on the icon with arrows pointed at each other (the upper portion of the red box shown below). If you want to zoom out, click on the arrows facing away from each other (the lower portion of the red box shown below). 

Searching for a Time/Date on the Timeline

If you are searching for an event and know the exact time/date it happened, you can input that information to navigate directly to it. On the right-hand side of the timeline, you will see both a calendar and clock icon as shown in the red box below. Once you input a time and date here, the timeline will jump to that footage.

Manage Event Types

To add or remove timeline tracking for different event types, click "Manage Event Types" and select which events you want to display on the timeline. 

Note: An event type will not display, even if checked, unless that event is present during the timeframe currently selected for the timeline.
