View recorded video independently of the main timeline

If you want to review video in a view item, you can play back the video independently of the other video in the view. In playback mode, the playback is independent of the selected main timeline. In live mode, the playback is independent of the live video.

You can’t use this feature for view items with hotspots, carousels, or Matrix content.

  1. Select the view item and from the camera toolbar, select Independent playback .

    The top bar for the view item with the camera turns yellow, and the independent playback timeline appears:

    Independent playback timeline in XProtect Smart Client.

    • In live mode, the video starts playing from 10 seconds before the time you selected Independent playback.

    • In playback mode, if playing, the video jumps 10 seconds in the opposite direction. If paused, the video remains paused at the current time.

  2. To see the recorded video from another time, drag the independent playback timeline.

  3. To synchronize the recorded video from all cameras in your view to the independent playback time, select Use the selected time on the playback timeline .

  4. Now, the video is synchronized to the time you initially selected for the independent playback in playback mode.
