Fast Forward/Slow Down Playback of Videos Stored in NVR

Applies to: All Reolink NVRs.

You may follow the steps below to speed up or slow down playback of recordings stored in Reolink NVR when it is plugged into a monitor (via VGA/HDMI port). There are 2x 4x 8x and 16x fast-forward options on the monitor.

Step 1. Go to Menu >> Search >> Playback page.

Step 2. Select the channels in which you want to review the recordings, choose the Start Time and End Time, then click on Search button.

Step 3. Double-click on the blue bar to locate a specific time of the video, then tap on the fast-forward or slow-down button to change the speed of playback.

Note: Currently, fast-forward is not supported on Client software. When you playback recordings with the Client software, it’s streaming the videos from the NVR remotely via the Internet. Like most of the online players (i.e. Youtube), it needs to download videos from the NVR and then play it. There would be some cache so the videos could be played smoothly, however, the Client software won't download the whole recording, so it cannot support fast-forward.
