Playback
How to open and navigate recorded footage by channel and date using the BitVision Playback screen.
Opening Recorded Footage
To play back recorded footage from a connected device, follow these steps.
Tap the menu button
in the top-left corner of the screen.

Tap Playback in the side menu.

Tap Local device, then tap the device name, then tap the channel number (CH) you want to review.

The recorded footage for that channel is displayed on the Playback screen.

Playback plays one channel at a time. You can open multiple channels one after another to view additional recordings, but synchronized playback — where multiple channels play in sync — is not supported.
