The Web Player is the browser-based review tool used for recorded video in OEC. It gives you more control than a simple playback view and is the best place to review multi-camera footage in detail.
Use the Web Player when you need to:
- review several cameras together
- move precisely through a recording
- focus on one camera at a time
- inspect a sequence more carefully before reporting or exporting
The legacy manual described these as the most important controls, and they are still the right foundation for the new guide:
- camera list to open and close available camera streams
- recording selection for choosing the correct time window
- playback controls for start, stop, and moving through the sequence
- timeline navigation for jumping to a precise position
- focused camera view for closer inspection
- zoom controls when extra detail is needed

- Open the recording you want to inspect.
- Check the list of available cameras.
- Start with the camera that is most likely to show the event clearly.
- Use the timeline to move close to the expected time.
- Play, pause, and step through the sequence until you have the exact moment.
- Expand a single camera view if you need more detail.
- Repeat on other cameras when you need more context.
- begin with the approximate event time rather than watching a long recording from the start
- use the camera list to reduce visual noise
- note exact timestamps as you work
- compare at least two camera angles when the event is unclear
- move to reporting or export only after confirming the sequence you need
The Web Player is especially useful for:
- incident review
- damage investigation
- complaint handling
- confirming what happened before and after a recorded event
