Setting A Recording Schedule; Holiday Schedule - Q-See QC series User Manual

Setting a Recording Schedule

There are two ways to set up your schedule - either sheduling blocks of time using the timeline, or by
setting precise start and stop times in the Period window.
Pre-Record - The DVR can record the scene up to 30 seconds before motion is detected.
Redundancy - If you have multiple hard drives, you can save the recording to both drives.
Multi-Day Schedule - Click on the boxes to the left of the day names to link them and set the same
schedule for all of those days. Linked days will be indicated by a chain icon.
Motion/Alarm/Motion & Alarm - If you schedule MD & Alarm, any previous, overlapping schedules of
either Motion Detection or Alarm, will be erased as Motion & Alarm covers those functions.

Holiday Schedule

• Creating a holiday in the System > General window (Section 4.5) will add another schedule below
the Saturday timeline. You can set up a specific schedule that will automatically be used on any date
added to the holiday list. If, for instance, a holiday falls on a weekday, the holiday schedule will override
the normal daily schedule.
