To edit a recording schedule, select a recording option from the colored boxes. Each recording
option is color coded: Green: Regular (24/7 recording), Yellow: MD (Motion Detection), Red:
(Alarm), Orange: MD&Alarm (a combination of motion detection and alarm recordings), and IVS.
Select which recording type you would like to modify and then use your mouse to adjust the time
via the time bar for your specific recording type.
Click the eraser icon to the right of any day if you would like to clear the entire row of blocks.
To add or remove motion detection blocks to the grid, mark the yellow checkbox next to MD, then
click individual cells or click-and-drag for multiple blocks.
To the left of each day, there are small boxes which can be marked to 'link' days together. This is
useful if you want to save time by instantly making changes to multiple days simultaneously.
In the below example, Sunday and Monday are linked, so any blocks that are added or removed
for Sunday will automatically and immediately reflect the same for Monday and vice versa.
The same concept applies when configuring other recording schedule types such as IVS.
Another way to configure recording schedules is by manually setting time periods. Click the
"gear‟ icon to the far right of any day to open the Period page.
Here, the periods (Periods 1 - 6) will be displayed in chronological order. You can set either
Regular, MD, Alarm, MD&Alarm or IVS, checkboxes. You can also copy the period settings
over to other days by checking them individually or checking All. Make sure to click Save when
finished.
Now that you have finished configuring the recording schedules, you may need to copy these
settings over to other channels (or cameras). By default, D1 (Channel 1) will be selected unless
you immediately selected All in the channel window previously. Please note, you can copy these
settings directly over to another channel by clicking Copy.
In the Copy window, you can select individual channels for any cameras you have added to the
NVR or select All:
Click Save when finished.
When finished on this screen, click Apply to save your changes.
Setting Up Email Alerts
Setting up Email alerts will allow you to receive snapshots of events via your email. These events
can be motion detection, IVS, Face Detection, or other events captured by your device. Each
event type must have the "Send Email" option enabled to allow the feature to send snapshots to
your email. To set up email alerts, please refer to the information provided below.
1. On the Main Menu, click on Network located in the Management section.
2. Select Email and Enable the toggle switch.
3. Enter the SMTP information for your email. In this example we will be using Gmail, however
other email services can also be used. If using Gmail, type in "smtp.gmail.com"
4. Enter a port number. This is based on the type of encryption used by your email service. In
this example we will be using port 465, which uses an SSL encryption type. If using TLS, the port
number will be 587.
5. Enter the email address you will be using in the Username field.
6. Enter the password for the email address in the Password field.
7. In the Receiver field, enter your email address. Enter that same email address in the Sender
field.
