Recording: Schedule

Important Guidelines
The schedule presented on-screen applies to one channel
only over one whole week.
Use the Copy To functions to quickly assign identical schedule
layouts to multiple channels at once.
Be careful when programming your schedule. It's one of the
most important aspects of setting up your NVR, and if it's wrong
in any way, it could lead to disastrous complications later.
Copy To: There are two Copy To buttons on the Schedule Menu
screen.
Copy To (Channel): Located at the base of the screen, with
Default on one side and Apply on the other. This will allow you
to copy the schedule from the channel you're editing to another
channel or channels.
Note: The Action Options for Motion Detection will affect the
way the schedule works.
By default, all channels are armed to use Motion Detection
as their recording mode.
Any adjustments in the Alarm -> Action menus will change the
NVRs behavior, even if it is set to Motion Recording mode (see
Advanced Configuration:
on page 41 .

Recording Modes:

There are three types of recording to choose from.
Normal: The NVR will constantly record for any period where
Normal is selected. You won't miss anything, but constant
recording will fill your hard drive very quickly. (The NVR
does record the equivalent of a DVD film every hour on every
channel, so that's rather a lot of data!) Typically, we suggest
Motion as a better recording mode for most users.
Motion: The recommended recording setting for most
applications. The NVR 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
unless you alter your Action settings
- Action" on page 41 to include other channels.
Before setting any of your schedule to Motion, ensure that
Motion Detection is properly configured for the channel(s) you
want to associate with it. See
for more information about setting up and configuring Motion
Detection.
None: As the name suggests, the NVR will not record
anything.
Not record anything from
midnight (00:00) to 6am
(06:00).
Record based on Motion
from 6am (06:00) until 6pm
(18:00).
Record constantly from 6pm
(18:00) until midnight (00:00).
