Luma x20 NVR UI - Playback

This lets you review recorded video.

Left Panel

This area holds camera and incident filters that assist in finding specific recordings. Click the chevron at top to collapse or expand this panel.

Camera Tab

At the top, select or deselect the type of recording you wish to search for: green stands for manual records, red stands for sensor-based records, yellow stands for motion-based records, blue stands for scheduled records, and cyan stands for AI event records.

Below is a list of your cameras. When searching for a recording, use the checkboxes to select any or all of your cameras.

Enter a camera name in the search box to find a specific camera, or click refresh to update the list. (Set the date using the calendar below the video window.)

At the bottom, click the search button to display all records that match the filters. Click the play button or click on the timeline to begin playback.

Sequences Tab

You can also select sequenced streams to view.

At the top, select or deselect the type(s) of recordings you wish to search for: green stands for manual records, red stands for sensor-based records, yellow stands for motion-based records, blue stands for scheduled records, and cyan stands for AI event records.

The top displays all the groups you have set up. Below the divider, it displays all the cameras in the selected group.

Group Tab

The top displays all the groups you have set up. Select a group by clicking in it. Below the divider, it displays all the cameras in the selected group.

Pro Tip: -_It's easier to edit a camera group under the Function Panel > Camera > Manage Camera > Edit Camera Group, plus it provides more controls.

The Add button creates a new group. You must name the group, set a dwell time, and use the checkboxes to select which camera(s) belong to that group. Each group must have at least one camera, and a camera can belong to more than one group.

If you click on a group to select it, you can click Edit to adjust the name or dwell, or Delete to remove it.

Video Area

Here you view the recordings.

Click the play button (in the left panel), or click in the timeline (at bottom center), to begin playback at that point. Your NVR can handle simultaneous playback of up to four cameras.

Below the video to the left are the layout buttons: single-camera view, four-camera view, OSD on/off, and fullscreen mode. The fullscreen button works with any view; hit the Esc key to end fullscreen mode.

Below and center are the playback controls.

Below to the right are the download controls. Enable a POS insert, add a watermark, adjust start and end times for the clips, and download files to network drives or USB drives.

The Calendar and Timeline

All recordings for the selected camera(s) on the date selected in the calendar are displayed in the timeline at right. Click anywhere in the timeline to begin playback at that time.
