Viewing the single camera archive

To open the camera archive (from the real time view mode), click in the active cell or select Eocortex Archive in the context menu: the cell will switch to the archive view mode.

In the bottom part of the cell, there is a Timeline with the fragments marked in grey that correspond to the video recordings of the given camera that have been saved in the archive.

Note

The decimated archive is marked with hatching.

The vertical bar shows the place in the archive that is being displayed currently.

To go to the required time moment, click on the corresponding point on the timeline.

To shift the timeline backward or forward, click on it and, holding the mouse button, shift the scale in the required direction.

The time scale can be changed by rotating the mouse wheel while holding the Ctrl button.

Calendar allows going to a particular place in the archive by specifying the exact date and time.

Note

The timeline displays the time of the archive recordings in accordance with the local time of the computer on which they are viewed, while the server stores the archive according to the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

As an example:

The server with the UTC+03:00 time zone settings recorded a fragment of the archive from 12:00 to 12:05 server time.

When viewing this fragment in the Eocortex Client application running directly on the server, it will be displayed on the timeline between 12:00 and 12:05.

But when viewing this fragment on a computer with UTC+05:00 time zone settings, the fragment time on the timeline will be from 14:00 to 14:05.

And when viewing the same fragment on a computer with UTC+01:00 time zone settings, the fragment time on the timeline will be from 10:00 to 10:05.

Warning

Frames encoded in H.264, H.265 and MPEG-4 may freeze during playing, since only the reference frames are displayed. This is due to the specifics of H.264, H.265 and MPEG-4 codec, because the decoding of intermediate frames requires the whole chain, starting with the last reference frame; when playing backwards it can lead to unnecessary consumption of computer resources.

The playback speeds in the range of 0.1x to 120x are available.

Note

For frame-by-frame playback, move the mouse pointer to the cell and scroll the mouse wheel (down is forwards, up is backwards).

The context menu can be invoked in two ways:

• By clicking the icon in the right bottom corner of the cell.

• By right-clicking anywhere in the cell.
