An Easier way to check a recording

pathway · Post by **pathway** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 8:04 am

This request is for an easier method to check a recording at a specified time.

Currently, it's quite cumbersome to check a recording, especially for the neophyte who needs to check what happened at a certain time.

So, I propose two things:

1. A Calendar/Scheduler style method of choosing a date/time. By doing this, even the least computer-savy user can start a review of the camera data.

2. Easier controls during review. By default, the controls given when viewing a video are lacking. In particular, there is no clear way to pause, single frame forward/back, and play backwards at various speeds.

Thanks for the suggestions, both are under development to on degree or another. I find the quickest way of zooming down onto a certain time is by using the timeline view, especially if used across a LAN where you can move your mouse back and forth and get instant previews.

Yay! Looking forward to this. Any way somebody like myself can help?

For this perhaps PHP Calendar could be integrated:

There IS a calendar integrated optionally.

Maybe the better option would be, rather than using the 'filter' window and it's complexities of SQL-style statements of date/time gt/lt calendar AND/OR date/time gt/lt calendar stuff, have a 'previous day', 'previous hour', 'next hour', 'next day' row of links on the event view (results) window to help compliment the [1,2,3,4,5.....X] method. Whether it is bound by the filter parameters is up to the implementor...
