A Bookmark is footage in archive that is marked to make it easy to find. Bookmarks provide a convenient way to search for specific footage in the archive (see "Searching Bookmarks").
Once a Bookmark is created, it displays as a blue segment on the time scale. When the cursor hovers over it, a control dialog opens. Note that Bookmarks are only visible when the Show Bookmarks button in the Timeline is enabled (green bar on icon). If several items are open in a layout, Bookmarks will display only for the device that is selected.
Bookmarks can be created manually on the Timeline (see "Creating Bookmarks Manually"), or they can be created automatically as the action of an event rule (see "Create Bookmark"). The action of completing an acknowledgment in response to a notification also generates a Bookmark on the triggering event.
The name, description and tag properties of Bookmarks are searchable and editable, and can be exported and saved individually, or with the archive of the camera (see "Exporting Bookmarks"). When archived footage is deleted, associated Bookmarks are deleted as well. You can also manually delete individual Bookmarks (see "Deleting Bookmarks").
To play a Bookmark, double-click a single record in the Bookmark Log, invoke the context menu and choose Open in New Tab, or right-click on the Bookmark in Timeline and click the play icon. The corresponding Bookmark will open in a new layout.
Use the Bookmark control dialog on the Timeline to perform the following:
– plays the Bookmark from the beginning
– opens the Bookmark dialog for editing
– opens the Export Video dialog. See "Exporting Bookmarks".
– deletes the Bookmark
