Receive a list of motion events and easily jump to the video that matters.

Filter and sort video using the identified level of motion in each clip to highlight which video clips have the most action.

Use DVR Examiner’s proprietary motion score to identify which clips have more motion activity relative to other clips.

Just wanted to let you know that I received DVR Examiner today and one of my Analysts was immediately able to put it to the test with a Swann DVR he’s been working on that was password protected with no password available for it.
