Since an archive may contain a significant volume of video data, the following search methods are available to minimize the time spent searching for a particular event or segment.
•Timeline – Speeds navigation through live and archived footage. See "Parts of the Timeline" and "Using the Timeline".
•Calendar – Zooms the Timeline to a selected date (see "Using the Calendar").
•Motion Smart Search – Selects a region on video, refines the archive, and highlight fragments that include motion (see "Performing Motion Smart Search").
•Thumbnail Navigation – Small previews are displayed on top of the Timeline to help locate a particular image or event (see "Using Thumbnails").
•Preview Search – Select a region on the Timeline and allow for the application to provide videos that represent a time period based on timestamps (see "Preview Search").
•Bookmarks – This feature lets you select a segment of footage from a single device, give it a name, description and tags, and instantly export the bookmark (see "Using Bookmarks").
