Timeline

The Timeline is a powerful way to view everything that has happened in a day at a glance. The Timeline is integrated in the main view of Symphony Client. It can be turned on and off via the Toolbar Timeline button, and via Menu item View > Timeline. The Timeline is also available in every Video Panel, accessible by right-clicking on the Video Panel and choosing Timeline.

If you click anywhere on the Timeline, a still image for that time will appear in the main view.

Meaning of the bar colors:

Green - No relevant foreground activity was detected.

Yellow - There is activity (ignores weather conditions and shadows).

Red - A Rule was broken that resulted in an alarm being raised.

Gray - No video signal.

The purple circle always indicates the Timeline position for what is currently being viewed in the Video Panel.

By default, rules are summarized on the Timeline using a red square. You can customize how rules are displayed on the Timeline from the Alarms tab in the Settings dialog.
