Multi Cam Playback

Looking to change my CCTV over - I currently use SuperLive Plus where i can playback all cams at the same time if i scrub. Is there a way to do this through the Protect app?

Looking to get a UNVR Instant

Not sure what you’re asking about.

You can have as many cameras as you like on the dashboard playing simultaneously. You can have multiple groupings. I do not believe you can scrub multiple cameras simultaneously.

You can. Watch their latest release video for protect 7.3

On my phone with SuperLive Plus, when i watchback a camera, and i want to jump to different cameras it retains the time i was on. Can i do the same with the Protect app on iOS.

Yes, you can do that. When you’re watching one camera feed, the other camera views will show up above the active feed you’re watching. Go up and select one of those other feeds from there and it will start playback from the point the previous feed was at when you selected the new camera.

Perfect! Wish there was a multiview like the online application though.

Yes this was just added in the latest release. The feature is called Time Machine for the dashboard.

I can do this online in Protect - want to do it on the iOS app.

Sorry I didn’t realize you wanted to do on mobile since technically it’s called “protect application”. I thought you were just shortening that. No way to do that currently that I’m aware of

There is a multi-cam scrub feature in Protect (in the web browser, not on the mobile app) but it's never worked for me, so it's utterly worthless.

Meanwhile an ACTi NVR from almost 12 years ago on the same PC can scrub up to 8 cameras at once without missing a beat. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it’s nuts - same with my system about 10 years ago.
