    The page shown in Figure 1 is displayed. Table 1 describes the required parameters.

    Table 1 Parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Channel ID

    Select the ID of the desired channel from the drop-down list box.

    Before selecting a channel, click on the right to prevent deleted or modified channels from being displayed in the drop-down list box.

    Streaming URL

    Select the streaming URL of the channel from the drop-down list box.

    Started

    When the replay function is enabled for a channel, Max Replay Recording Time will be specified. You can watch replay only within the configured duration.

    Click . The calendar is displayed. The time segment of the historical video that can be viewed is highlighted. You can select the start time as required.

    Ended

    A replay URL can be used to watch replay for a maximum of 24 hours. Therefore, the end time can be at most one day later than the start time.

  3. After configuring the preceding parameters, click Generate Replay URL.

    The URL has been generated. You can click on the right to copy the URL and start the replay.

    • If the URL is invalid, check whether the channel is still in the channel ID list. Click on the right of the channel ID to refresh the page. The possible cause is that the channel has been deleted or the replay function has been disabled for the channel.
    • If Max Replay Recording Time is seven days, the replay URL you will obtain is the earliest day, and you need to watch the replay immediately. Otherwise, the recordings generated before Max Replay Recording Time will be aged and cannot be played.
