  • Manually refresh the timeline

  • Dock or undock the timeline.

  • Enable panic mode

  • Collapse/expand timelines

  • Show markers which are used for protection and safety functions (see next chapter)

  • Open the properties dialog

Panic mode

Panic mode can only be used when user management is enabled, see also chapter User management in ibaCapture. This mode can only be activated by authorized users. In panic mode, only a main responsible person (administrator) is allowed to view the videos.

A click on the command opens a dialog where you can select the server(s) the panic mode shall be activated for. Select one or multiple servers in the tree structure and click on <Activate panic mode>.

When panic mode is active, the color of the server icon turns to green.

The panic mode can only be deactivated by the admin user by restarting the ibaCapture service. In case the panic mode is active, you can see a button that allows you to disable the mode in the “iba Capture status” field.
