I've really been enjoying the timeline playback feature. It's made reviewing daily footage so much easier and efficient, so thank you again!
I also just recently stumbled upon the UI setting for
Dynamic Group Max Resolution (strongly affects server CPU usage). Can you explain in some detail how this works? I'm running UI3 on a 1920 x 1080 monitor, but I still see very visible improvement in IQ when increasing the DGMR from, say, 2500 to 3000.
I'm viewing 4 cameras, each 2592 x 1952, and they're arranged in a single row of cameras.
Also, if you're accepting feature requests, here's my current wish-list:
- Reverse playback in timeline view, even of multiple cameras. Would this be ridiculously CPU-intensive?
- Convert/Export of any visible camera directly from Timeline view
- Unless I'm missing something, when I see something I want to export, I need to switch to Clips view to export, and because of the way my cameras are set up, I almost always want to export the same timespan from 2-4 cameras, which I then edit/assemble in various ways as the critters move around my yard.
- This can be very cumbersome if I'm reviewing footage that's more than a day old, because switching from Timeline to Clips always brings me back to now, and then I have to remember when my video of interest was.
- Due to the arrangement of the cameras and my regions of interest, some of the cameras do not trigger when the animals are on-screen, either because they're too small, or because I've masked out certain areas to prevent triggering on wind movement of branches, so I can't even look for alerts. I need to look at New clips and then scrub around to find the time of interest.
- I don't want to set up Group Triggering for all the cameras in a set, because sometimes I want to see when each individual camera was triggered, and having all the triggers for a group shown on the group Timeline eliminated the need for group triggering, at least for me.
- A super bonus feature would be simultaneous Convert/Export of multiple streams from Timeline view.
- Dragging start/stop shows the relevant frames of all the cameras on the screen
- Show a checkbox for each camera on the screen so we can select to export from some or all of the cameras
These features would improve my daily efficiency even more, although I have no idea how difficult any of these would be.
