Why is the timeline at playback not constant?

Reason

  1. When the video recorder is using event recording, it only records video when event occurs. Hence the video may not be continuous.

  2. Exception occurs, such as the device offline, HDD error, record exception, network camera offline, etc.

Solution

  1. Ensure the recording type is continuous recording.

  2. Go to Maintenance > Log Information. Search the log file during the video time period. See if there are unexpected events, such as HDD error, record exception, etc.
