7.4.1

Schedule

Within this menu, you can specify when the DVR records video and under
what mode for each channel. By default, all channels are armed to use Motion
Detection as their recording mode.
The schedule presented on-screen applies to one camera over one entire week.
There is a 24-hour timeline for each day of the week. Each square in the timeline
represents an hour in the 24-hour period.
When defining a recording schedule, there are 3 types of recording to choose from:
Continuous (Blue): The DVR will constantly record for any period. You won't
miss anything, but constant recording will fill your hard drive very quickly.
Typically, we suggest Motion as a better recording mode for most users.
Motion (Green): The default and recommended recording setting. The DVR will
only record when it detects something moving in front of a camera, and will
then only record footage from the camera(s) that do detect motion.
None (Black): The DVR will not record anything.
