12 Scheduling

Flexibility

Use of scheduling is optional. You also have the option of scheduling cameras and alarms before or after they are setup. Scheduling is performed unit-by-unit. A benefit of scheduling is that it spares storage on your Multi-Media unit.

In a nutshell

A Multi-Media unit can be set to record video only at times or days that you specify. For example, your organization might need to record video only for holidays or at night, and so on. You can also customize schedules for specific cameras, or groups of cameras.

Alarms can be scheduled as well; see 12.2 on p. 12–5.

Specifics

Each camera can be assigned to either a:

•“basic” schedule. The simplest way to assign cameras to the same schedule. See 12.1: Camera Schedule and 12.1.1: Holiday and Exception.

•custom schedule. See 12.1.2: Customizing Schedules.

•another camera’s custom schedule. Cameras can be grouped into one of many schedules. See 12.1.2: Customizing Schedules.

Fig. 81. Example of customized basic schedule: recording occurs at times other than 6:30 to 7:00, on Wednesdays.

Alarms

Alarms can also be scheduled; for example, you can set events to trigger alarms, but only after business hours, or at hours when it suits your organization most. Alarms are scheduled globally. See 12.2: Alarm Schedule.
