If you are looking for something specific in one or more video streams, you can start search from a single camera, or from an entire view. The search workspace opens in a new floating window.

Steps:

  1. Switch to live or playback mode.

  2. To search a single camera:

    1. Hover over the view item. The camera toolbar appears.

    2. Click SC_CameraToolbar_SendCamToSearch_icon.png. A new Search window opens, and a search for recorded video starts immediately based on the camera in the view item.

  3. To search all cameras in a view:

    1. Make sure the correct view is open.

    2. At the top of the view, click SC_CameraToolbar_SendCamToSearch_icon.png. A new Search window opens, and a search for recorded video starts immediately based on the cameras in the view.

    3. Depending on your goal, change the time span, search categories and filters, or similar. For more information, see Searching for video data.
