6.14   PREVIEW SEARCH 
  The Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact 
moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred. The Preview Search basically gives 
a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period  
(1 day) into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. The search can then be 
further narrowed down into ten minute increments and one minute increments by 
simply selecting one of the images displayed.

  These example images show how the Preview Search functions. The first screen that 
appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each 
hour. If there is no image recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed. 
When an hour is selected (by double clicking on the image) then a new screen appears 
with 6 images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of video. Once a 
10 minute segment is selected (by double-clicking on the image) the final screen 
appears which breaks down that 10 minute segment into 1 minute increments (10 
images).
