Recording and Playback
Control Center manages recordings from hundreds of cameras recorded on one or more IndigoVision Networked Video Recorder(s). The NVRs used can either be the Windows NVR or our Standalone NVRs.
Windows Networked Video Recorder
IndigoVision’s Windows Networked Video Recorder (NVR) is a Windows service that runs on a PC and records and manages live video recordings. To configure and manage the NVR and its recordings, you can use the following:
- Control Center
- Client applications developed using the NVR Client SDK
Recorded Video
Control Center allows users to display recorded video from up to 16 cameras at the same time. It also provides a set of powerful tools for reviewing recording footage and for quickly identifying vital evidence:
- Jog/speed shuttle
- Motion search with adjustable threshold
- Thumbnails based on alarms, motion or time
The jog/speed shuttle includes frame-based single step forwards and backwards, and 8x speed at 240 fps. Motion search allows users to search through a period of recorded footage and measure motion as a percentage. Minor movement, such as that caused by animals or trees can be ignored. Typical search performance: 8 hours searched in under 5 minutes.
Automatic Storage Management
Networked Video Recorders can be configured to delete recordings automatically by specifying a length of time that recordings should remain, or a minimum amount of disk space.
Recording Schedule
The recording schedule is used to specify when particular cameras should be recorded. Recording can occur all the time, or start at set times. It can also start when an alarm occurs, including one triggered by motion.

Multiple Camera Playback
Users can view recorded video from up to 16 cameras simultaneously on one PC. Playback can be simultaneous, and start from the same time for all cameras, or each camera can start playing back from a different time.
Multiple Recorders
Control Center can be used to manage and administer several NVRs in the same system. The operator need not be concerned about where recordings are stored.
