Recording Schedules

Set Recording Schedule
- To set recording schedules, first select the camera desired by choosing from the Camera drop down list menu. Choosing the Camera All option will allow the settings to apply to all cameras.
- Click and drag the mouse pointer over the grid to select the area to schedule for recording. Once you release the mouse pointer, a menu will appear, indicating the recording options: C – Continuous, M – Motion, D – Object Detection, S – Sensor, F – Forced, E – Event = Sensor and Motion and Object Detection, X – No Recording or Cancel to cancel the selection. When the recording is set to sensor, then only sensor triggered events are recorded. When motion recording is set, only motion detected events are recorded. Event recordings allow for motion, sensor and object detection events. However, if all of these events are triggered, sensor recording takes priority, then object detection and lastly motion. Continuous recording simply sets the camera to record all the time but should a sensor, motion or object detection event be triggered, the recording will be changed according to the event type triggered. The Forced recording option is similar to the Continuous recording option except that it will ignore all triggered events.
- To apply settings, click on the Apply button.

- Select your End day and time. To select until the end of a particular day, set the day to the succeeding day and set the time to 00:00. For example, to set the entire day for Monday, set the Start to Monday 00:00 and then set the End to Tuesday 00:00. If the Start day and time is less than the End day and time, then the schedule will wrap around the week. For example, if the Start is set to Wednesday 00:00 and the End is set to Monday 00:00, then the schedule will take effect on all days except Monday and Tuesday.
