  2. In the Tiles view, double-click or drag a camera from the area view into a tile.
  3. To go to a specific time, click the drop-down menu in the middle of the tile toolbar and select Go to specific time.
    1. In the Date and time field, select a date.
      Go to specific time dialog in Genetec Operation showing a 24hr timeline view and a variety of camera activity.
      Tip:
      To go to today's timeline view, click Today in the calendar picker.
    2. (Optional) Use the arrows at the top of the dialog to move the timeline view backwards or forwards one day at a time.
      For example, if the results in the timeline give unexpected results.
    3. In the 24-hour timeline view, review rows containing motion, and then click a specific time in a timeline row to open the video in your camera tile.
