Timeline

Introduction

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. 



Selecting a Date/Time period

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



Viewing Videos

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.  



Viewing Previous Alarms

Historical alarms can now be viewed whilst handling an open alarm. To do this, select the entry from the timeline you wish to view. 

INFO: It is recommended when doing this, to defer the alarm you are currently handling. By doing this, other operators will be able to identify the alarm is being handled. See the article relating to the deferment of alarms
