The timeline provides an overview of all events, including Video, Blind and SOS signals, along with any previously closed alarms.

Signals or alarms generated within a short period of time are grouped together on the timeline. 

There are many ways in which you can select a specific period to view. See the below video showing the different ways available.

To view a video select an entry from the timeline, a box will appear displaying all videos generated within that time period. To begin playback click on the video. Double-clicking a video signal will snap back to the top of the page. The pop-up box can then be moved around the screen.
