Timeline playback multiple cameras

[Brandon]

I just realized BI can playback multiple cameras by double clicking a spot on the timeline. For some reason this isn't working for me. The selected camera will playback video from the point selected, but all other cameras are black. I can click on one of the blacked out cameras and the video will play and the other camera will go black. In other words, only video from the selected camera will play and all other cameras show a black screen.

Is there a setting I need to change? Does this work as designed for others?


Thanks

If you are recording on motion detection then the cameras that did not detect motion/record will be black...

What if they're all set to record continuous 24hrs?
Do they need to be placed in a group?

then you should not see any black cameras...no

This happens also to me. I would really like to see all recorded cameras to show simultaneously...

To get a group of cameras to play at the same time, you can't have one camera selected. Click somewhere on the screen to deselect all cameras, then double click the timeline.
