Searching for Video
The WS5000 offers two options for searching recorded video: Quick Search and Enhanced Search. Quick Search allows you to search for video by
single device, date, and time. Enhanced Search allows you to search for video by multiple devices, date and time range, and events.
QUICK SEARCH
The Quick Search tab provides a simple, clickable interface for selecting the date and time of the recorded video you want to view. You may also
export video from this tab. Different types of recorded video are represented by four different colored bars:
• Green: Continuous recording
• Red: Alarm recording
• Blue: Motion recording
• Yellow: Manual recording
• White: Locked video
Yellow stars indicate manually marked events. Along with marked events, a cursor marks the position along the timeline of the video that is
currently playing. This cursor remains synchronized with the current video as a reminder of where you are along the timeline.
