To switch from a different surveillance mode to the Archive mode, click the tab in the lower-right corner of the Camera Window.
Note
If a camera is not linked to a video archive and has no on-board storage, this tab will be not available.
You can also switch from Live Video mode to Archive mode if you select a position on the advanced archive navigation panel (see Advanced Archive Navigation Panel).
Note
In Live Video mode, if the viewing tile is not active, the tabs for switching to other modes and the advanced archive navigation panel are not displayed. To activate, click the viewing tile.
To switch all cameras within a layout to Archive mode, click the Playback button on the upper panel.
To return to live viewing, click Live.
Furthermore, if all cameras within a layout are in Live Video mode, you have to open the Archive navigation panel to switch the cameras to Archive mode (see Show and Hide the Archive Navigation Panel).
Note
If archive mode is selected as the default video mode for a camera in a layout, when you switch to that layout, the camera is immediately in archive mode (see Selecting the default video mode for a camera).
On first access to Archive mode, the most recently recorded video will be selected on the timeline (see The Timeline). On further accesses to a particular camera archive, the timeline indicator will show the position of the most recent video in the Archive.
Attention!
If you prefer to open the most recently recorded video when accessing the Archive (Video Footage), create a ResetArchivePosition parameter in the following registry key on the Client: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Grundig.
Click to create a temporary layout for Archive (video footage) viewing.
The temporary layout is not preserved after you switch to any other layout.
