Changing All Custom Schedules to Default Schedules
If you want to change all custom schedules to follow a default schedule, perform the following steps:
1. In the Clear Schedule area, select All Custom Schedules from the drop-down list.
2. Click Clear.
Now, all weekdays follow the weekday default, and all weekend days follow the weekend default. Also, changing the
default schedule will override the custom schedule for these changed days.
Clearing Schedules
In addition to changing schedules, you can also clear certain schedules using the Clear Schedule area of the Schedule
page. The Clear Schedule area contains three choices:
• Current Day Only completely clears the displayed schedule. The displayed schedule remains or becomes a custom
schedule.
• All Custom Schedules causes all custom schedules to become the appropriate default schedule for that type of day
(weekday, weekend, or everyday).
• Entire Schedule completely clears all default and custom schedules.
To activate one of these options, select it from the drop-down list and click Clear. In a special situation in which you
need to make only one custom schedule follow a default schedule, display that day, choose Current Day Only, copy
the appropriate default schedule from another day, and paste it to the newly cleared schedule.
Example—Setting a Typical Schedule:
Suppose that your office follows a schedule of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and you want to capture
motion events during office hours and alarm events during off hours. On weekends and certain holidays, the office is
closed, and you want to capture alarm events those entire days.
To create this schedule, you would perform the following steps:
Part I—Setting the weekday default:
1. Go to the Schedule page (as shown previously under Setting a Recording Schedule).
2. If you have created any custom schedules that you no longer need, go to the Clear Schedule area, select All
Custom Schedules, and click Clear.
3. Click on any weekday in the calendar.
4. Draw schedule boxes to reflect the weekday schedule.
5. In the Schedule Mode section, choose Weekday Default from the drop-down list. Then click Apply.
Part II—Setting the weekend default:
1. Click on any weekend day in the calendar.
2. Click the Alarm button in the Select Mode area and then click Set All Cameras. This quickly sets all
cameras to the Alarm mode for the entire day.
3. In the Schedule Mode section, choose Weekend Default from the drop-down list.
4. Click Apply.
Part III—Setting holiday schedules:
1. Click on a weekend. Then, right-click on the calendar and select Copy.
2. Click on a holiday that should follow the weekend schedule.
3. Right-click on the calendar and select Paste.
4. In the Schedule Mode section, choose Custom from the drop-down list.
5. Click Apply. Repeat Part III for all holidays.
