Before you start the playback program, it is necessary for you to log in to the application software. The figure below
shows the login dialog. For security concerns, only the admin account can log in to this program. To change the
password of the admin account, please refer to the section titled “Logging In.”
Layout
Logging In
When you successfully log in to the playback system, the main window will be shown on the top of the screen and the
display resolution will be changed to 1024x768 automatically. There are four main areas, i.e. display area, histogram
area, control area, and status area. There are also three visualized controls , i.e. area selection indicator, frame

the IP surveillance database.

Main Areas
Display Area
The display area is able to show the surveillance database of each camera by time. You can change the video size
through the display adjustment tool and the playback method through the play control tool. Under the normal display
mode as shown in the figure below, you can just double click on the frame area to change the frame size to 1:1 or
2.25:1.
Histogram Area
The histogram is an interactive control. Not only can you get the event’s location in time domain and its quantity of the
motion percentage, but you can also select a group of events or a period from the event histogram area and show it
on the display area.
Control Area
The control area contains almost all the control selectors and toolboxes you need to browse the database. These control
tools include location selector, period selector, playback method selector, jog dial, display adjustment tool, searching
range adjustment tool, exporting tool, and system control tool.
Status Area
The status area is located at the bottom of the main window. It tells you the program status information including
display mode, display size, display speed, exporting file format, and exporting file name.
Indicators
Area Selection Indicator
In the main playback window, the display area is surrounded by a blue rectangle. This rectangle is the area selection
indicator. This indicator can be set to either display area or histogram area, as long as you move your mouse cursor to
the area you intend to select. When you select the display area, the display adjustment tool will appear in the control
area. If you select the histogram area, the display adjustment tool will disappear and the searching range adjustment
tool will be shown in the same place of the control area.

Pull Bar
The pull bar is a fast, flexible control for seeking data in the selected time period. It represents the total length of time
in that period. You can pull the indicator on the pull bar to the specific time-point you would like to view. The displaying
video will halt and then restart, playing the video sequence from the point you selected. If the video sequence has
been paused, the display area will show the point you selected without playing. Note that the pull bar will only function
under the normal display mode.
Settings
After the main window is shown on the screen, you must modify the settings to make it to work properly. Click on the
“Settings” button, shown below, in the system control tool, and the setting dialog will appear on the screen.
