The Incident Clips Tab

When you are working in the Incidents Video view, the Incidents Clips tab appears in the lower right panel of the Secondary Window and adds functionality to the Clip Basket.

There are buttons for three modes in the Select Operational Mode panel to choose from, depending upon what you need to do.

The Sync Play button allows you to play video footage in parallel rather than simultaneously.

The Incident Clips tab also has a couple of additional features to the standard Clip Basket tab in the Video view.

There is an option under each incident clip to add a comment.

There is a button that allows you to add multiple cameras. You can then select the camera footage to add to your incident.

The Manage Incident Video Clips Mode

In this mode, you can access any clips saved to incidents. Clips are listed in the tree structure in the lower panel of the Incidents Clip tab. To play a clip, click it in the list.

If you click the Incident button in the Current Incident Details panel, the Incident Summary dialog appears.

This dialog displays details about the currently selected incident (at the top of the list) as well as about all incidents in the system.

You can report on the data in this table. Use the Search Filters to narrow your report to a specific incident or you can report on all incidents in the list. You can also filter the data by selecting column-level values. For details on filtering reports with column-level values, see Filtering Reports on page 1.

To generate a report, when the data that you want is displayed, select an output format and click the Save Data As button at the bottom of the dialog.

If you want to change the order of a clip in the list, select it in the list and click the Move Clip Up or the Move Clip Down button.

If you want to delete a clip from the incident, select it in the list and click the Remove Clip button. The Confirm Remove Clip dialog appears.

Click Yes.

If you want to trim a clip down, play the video to where you want to trim it, or use the time slider to get to the point where you want to trim. Click the Cut Into Clip tool (scissors icon) on the Video Controls tab. To save the change, click the Save Clip button on the Incident Clips tab.

The Manage Incidents Snapshots Mode

In this mode, you can view and manage incident-related snapshots and add and remove snapshots to incidents. Click the Manage Incidents Snapshots button (middle button under Select Operational Mode).

Note: An incident must already be selected to capture, browse for and remove images from incidents.

All POI related to the selected incident appear in a tree in the lower part of the tab. Click a POI in the tree. The View Person of Interest dialog appears.

Current Incident Details

You can add a clip or merge a clip to an existing clip. You also have the option to choose how incident clips are played. Select Sync Play to determine whether clips from the same timeframe are played in parallel or simultaneously. If selected, and you have a combination of clips from that time period, they will automatically play in parallel in an appropriate video layout.

For example, if you have four clips playing, they will play in a quad layout. If there are between 5 and 9, a 3x3 layout will be selected.

If you have several clips from the same camera with overlapping times, these will be shown in parallel.

Incident Clips

Use the buttons at the bottom of the tab to manage your incident clips. You can sort them as you need them and export them, if required.
