The page with the list of events will open. On the left side of this page is a panel that allows filtering the events. The two panels above the list of events allow sorting events by attributes and searching for events by description.

Events list

Each event has its Time, Camera time, Type as the icon, and Event description displayed.

Note

The Consider time zones option must be enabled in the system settings to display the time according to time zone of the camera in the event properties.

The Event description contains the name of the event and various attributes related to this event. The list of attributes depends on the event.

If the event is associated with a camera and there is an archive for the time of the event, a frame from the archive will be displayed in the preview window. The archive can be played back in the preview window, and double-clicking on the event opens a full-screen view of the archive.

Filters have settings validity checks to make sure that the settings are correct. If no options are set in filters or no camera is selected, the Apply button will be unavailable.
