Working with the Events Screen

The Events screen is comprised of three main sections: the Event List, the Event Viewer, and the Event Details pane. You’ll use the Event List to select an event, the Event Viewer to view the video (if any) associated with the event, and the Event Details pane to view specific event information or to switch cameras (if multiple cameras are available).

The Event Viewer and the Event List sections are resizable.

1. Click on the border between these sections to resize them.
   1. Drag the border up to increase the size of the Event List pane.
   2. Drag the border down to increase the size of the Event Viewer pane.

The Event Viewer

	Click this icon to open the Event Details pane

When you select an event from the Event List, video from that specific date and time will appear in the Event Viewer (if associated cameras were selected). The Timeline Bar and viewing controls should all be functional, so you can use the Event Viewer pane much like you use the main Stage screen.

1. Click the left arrow icon to open the Event Details pane.
2. Click the right arrow icon to close the Event Details pane.
