Powamaxx Recorded File Viewing
 
The Powamaxx Playa allows you to review recorded files. The Playa is accessed from the main screen toolbar. As file playback is an authorized function so you will have to select a user and enter the corresponding password. Only the cameras for which the user is authorized will be shown.

General instructions are shown on the screen above. To access the files you want, first click on a camera in the box in the upper right corner of the screen. Next select the date from the box below that, and finally select the time from the box below that. In the recorded file box, you are also shown the size of the file which is a good indication of where the movement has been.
 
The red blocks indicate the relative size of the files. Small blocks indicate little activity while the longer blocks are the result of lots of movement. Using this facility can often be invaluable in locating movement quickly.
 
Once you have clicked on a file, it will automatically begin to play. When this happens, the camera, date and time selection boxes will be hidden. In order to redisplay these boxes, simply left-click on the image. Click again to hide the selection boxes.
 
Playback occurs in full screen mode and the various controls are "floated" over the video being played back.
