Archive/DVR. The Desktop client
The Archive/DVR section is intended for viewing archived records.
The application interface in Archive/DVR mode is similar to the interface in Live mode. The main difference is the player, which allows you to manage viewing time, create and view events, and download video fragments. Additional functions are also provided.
The work area includes:
Panel for switching between layouts – similar to Live mode.
A set of templates for the current layout – similar to Live mode.
