Tips on reviewing lots of footage efficiently

[austin99]

Hi there,
Has anyone got any tips on reviewing lots of footage efficiently? I've got 7 days worth of footage and I'm trying to spot 2 events but they could have occurred at anytime so I need to scan the footage somehow.
I've got the data on a Hikvision DVR and that only allows 16x playback - but I guess I could export the 1TB of data and use some other software.
Any tips or advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Depending on the model and firmware version of your DVR, it might have a feature Hikvision have produced called Smart Search. This will analyse your recordings for motion, line crossing etc. which should save a fair amount of time when

When accessing the DVR / NVR via a locally connected monitor, navigate to the Playback menu and see if there's an option for you to use Smart Search. Ordinarily, this is via a dropdown menu in the top left.
