Recorded events show as coloured markers (squares for scheduled/periodical clips, dots for alarms); click a marker to jump to that point. Hovering the bar shows the date and time of the picture currently under the cursor. The From and To time fields constrain the visible window.
At the bottom of the Recordings panel, click Setup cameras to open the camera configuration page. Cameras are not added by manually entering stream URLs — the Abilis discovers them automatically through Automation > Discovery, where they appear as Rvs (Remote Video Surveillance) devices. Once a camera is bound in Discovery, it appears here for configuration (enable/disable, recording parameters, storage allocation, alarm triggers, etc.).
