SCHEDULED RECORDING

To record on a schedule you will need to get to the Record menu as described above and select the cameras on the Schedule row instead of the Manual row.

Next, go to the Main Menu, and click on Settings, and select Schedule. This will open the Sched- ule menu.

STEP 3. After setting up the schedule go to the Main Menu and select the Setting menu. Inside, select the Detect window (Red square in Picture 6-5)

The DVR is programmed with all cameras set to record constantly by default. You may set up your own schedule to meet your specific requirements.

There are six blocks of time you can use to schedule recording and each camera can be individually configured or they all may share the same schedule. In addition, you may set up indi- vidual schedules for each day, or you may share the same schedule across every day.

Cameras may be scheduled to record in different modes at different times of the day.
