The Media Player allows you to search by thumbnail. This excellent feature will display a thumbnail of different times in the recording, allowing you to quickly locate a desired scene.
To access this tool, during a media playback session, click on the Thumbnails icon in the Tool Selection Panel:
You can generate thumbnails based on time slice where the system will display thumbnails at a fixed time interval, or by bookmark, where the system will display a thumbnail for each camera bookmark. The system also allows you to customize the time interval and the size/quantity of thumbnails on screen.
•Choose the camera for the search: Choose the camera you want to view the thumbnails for. The camera must already be open in playback within the timeframe previously determined.
•Search type:
oTime: Divides the thumbnails by defined time intervals. In the example above we have thumbnails every 1 hour.

oTime in minutes: If the Custom option is selected in the interval option, you can select the desired interval in minutes in this option. (Only available in the Time search type)
•Image size: Select the display size of the thumbnails: Large, Medium or Small.
