To use perform the thumbnail search, do the following:

  2. In the Interval field, specify the duration of the video fragments fragments into which you want to split the selected time interval in the MM:SS format:

    1. If you don't specify the duration of fragments (00:00), the search splits the selected time interval into 12 fragments of equal fragmentsduration.

      • We recommend setting the interval to
      no less than
      • 10 seconds or more.
      • If there are omissions in the archive, they aren't considered during the fragment splitting. The archive with omissions is processed as the continuous data sequence, that is, the parts with the missing data are logically "glued", after which the received continuous sequence is split into equal fragments.
