About bookmarks
The bookmark feature is only available for selected surveillance systems (see "Surveillance system
differences" on page 42). Depending on your user rights, the ability to add bookmarks from some
cameras may be restricted. You may be able to view bookmarks even if you cannot add them, and
vice versa.
You can bookmark incidents in live or recorded video. A bookmark is essentially a small video clip.
When you bookmark an incident, the program automatically assigns it an ID and the user who created
it. Bookmarks are searchable, so you and other users can easily find them later. A bookmark video clip
typically contains video from a few seconds before and a few seconds after the bookmarked incident
(specified by the surveillance system administrator) to ensure that the incident is recorded, regardless
of any delays.
You can find and edit bookmarked video by using:

The Playback tab's Recording Search (see "Search recorded video" on page 133) pane

The Sequence Explorer (see "About the Sequence Explorer" on page 123)

The Timeline (see "Bookmarks in the timeline" on page 122)
If you cannot find a particular bookmark, it can be because:

Your user rights do not allow you to view it.

The bookmark has been deleted (users with sufficient rights can delete bookmarks from the
Playback tab's Recording Search (see "Search using the Recording Search pane" on page
133) pane or the Sequence Explorer).

The bookmarked video no longer exists on the surveillance system.
The Bookmark window
To add details to bookmarks, you must first specify this for both the Live and the Playback tab in the
Options window, under Functions (see "Functions options" on page 98). If you have not specified
this, you will only be able to create quick bookmarks.
When you create a detailed bookmark, or when you edit a bookmark, there are a number of settings
you can specify.
