A timeline is displayed for each camera in the view. A time range containing video recordings is displayed as a colored bar. A range without video recordings is displayed as gray line. The display of the recorded sequences in the timeline is updated cyclically, according to the setting in the properties dialog of the view.
The cameras that are currently selected are shown in bright colors and a checkmark is set in front of the camera name.. The non-selected cameras are displayed in pale colors.
Meaning of bar colors:
-
Orange: continuous recording
-
Green: protected recording (use of video triggers)
-
Violet: locked video (see chapter Protect or lock videos for examples)
The timeline can be collapsed and expanded with the button 
in the bottom left corner of the timeline. A collapsed timeline contains a line for
selected players and one for unselected players (if available).
The colored bar of a collapsed timeline shows the total of the camera’s timelines it contains. The number in front of a timeline indicates the number of cameras the timeline contains. In the example above, the first line shows stored video for 1 selected camera and the second line shows this information for 3 unselected cameras.
