Using the playback timeline (explained)

On the timeline bar, you can specify the time of the recording, when you want to play back a recording, or when you want to view an investigation.

To do that in playback mode:

  • (Android) On the timeline bar, tap the blue time indicator to open the time picker and select the start time of the part in the recording that you want to play back. Then tap OK. The recording loads at the selected start time.
  • (iOS) On the timeline bar, tap the blue time indicator to open the time picker and select the start time of that part in the recording that you want to play back. Then tap Done. The recording loads at the selected start time.
  • On the timeline bar, drag the time scroller to the right or to the left to adjust the start time of that part in the recording that you want to play back. In the center of the time scroller, the blue time indicator shows the selected time in the recording. While you drag the time scroller, you see the frames currently selected in the recording. When you stop dragging the time scroller, the recording that you want to play back loads at the selected start time.

The maximum time period displayed on the timeline is 24 hours, with a four-hour time interval between frames. The minimum time interval between frames is one minute.

Colors in the timeline

  • Light red indicates recordings.
  • Red indicates motion.
  • Light green indicates incoming audio.
  • Green indicates outgoing audio.

In an investigation, you can follow the same steps to specify the time in the investigation that you want to view.
