Installing the Playback Viewer (Playback Chooser)

This viewer plays back pre-recorded video from a single, selected camera. The Playback Viewer component automatically populates an option list with all cameras in a station. This procedure installs a single instance of the Playback Viewer anywhere in the running station.

Prerequisites: You are working on a Supervisor station using Workbench running on a PC. You have discovered all cameras connected on the network.

NOTE: Only remote cameras with licenses for remote video are visible to Supervisor stations. You add remote station(s) and discover remote cameras under the Supervisor's NiagaraNetwork.

You can also add the Playback Viewer component directly to a Px page. If you drag a Playback Viewer to a Px page, choose the Playback Viewer from the Workbench views options in the Make Widget Wizard.

Perform the following steps:

In the Palette side bar, open the videoDriver palette.
Drag the Playback Viewer component to the desired location (to a Property Sheet view or directly to the Nav tree).
The Playback Viewer automatically populates a Video Playback view with an option list of all cameras in the station.
From the Playback Viewer option list (located in the top left corner), select the camera.
The camera Playback Viewer opens the selected camera’s video stream.
