Playing Back Recorded Video

Playing Back Recorded Video

The video playback screen can be accessed at any time, while video is recording or after recording has stopped. The screen has three sections: the Media Player, the Events Panel, and the Recordings Timeline. You can select previously recorded video segments to play back by sliding the timeline selector left or right of the marker. The video for that segment plays automatically. If there were events during that segment, they will be displayed on the Events Panel.
