Audit Trail
Audit Trail is a major new feature in 4.6. Audit trail allows for easy and quick searching on users and activities on the system. Select the timeframe and hit search, and Audit Trail lists all user activity on the system, including logins and logouts, configuration settings, viewing/closing cameras, trigger activities, user activities, and more. A quick-search box instantly filters the list to the desired content. For example, typing in "soft trigger" instantly returns just those user events associated with soft triggers.
