To create a Bookmark manually

1.Open the desired camera (it must have recorded footage)

2.Select the time span of the Bookmark on the Timeline:

•Click-and-drag the time indicator line (not the block displaying the date and time but the vertical line below that) to mark a segment, which will be highlighted with a blue overlay.

•Or, click on the desired start point, open the Timeline context menu, and select Mark Selection Start (shortcut [), then click on the desired end point and select Mark Selection End (shortcut ])

3.Once the time segment is defined, you can adjust it by clicking and dragging the edges of the blue block, or it can be deleted entirely using Clear Selection in the Timeline context menu.

4.Right-click in the blue highlighted area and select Add Bookmark

5.In the Bookmark dialog that opens, enter a Name, Description and if desired, one or more Tags separated by commas. (You can use a preexisting tag or create a new one. The most commonly used tags will be suggested.)

6.Click OK to accept or Cancel to close without saving.
