SCHEDULE SETUP
A schedule can be used to customize your recording modes by the hour for every day of the week. This is beneficial for business environments that have different hours during weekdays and the weekend. For home use, you can set different record modes for the days you have people over for housework, yard work, or even baby sitters. By default, the DVR is set to automatically record a 24/7 schedule. You have a choice to customize up to 5 different recording schedules.
The recording schedule is 24/7 and uses a 24 hour clock (e.g. on this screen 18 is 6:00 pm. In live or playback mode 17:00 is equal to 5:00 PM) Each square on the 24/7 schedule represents one hour.
There are 3 different recording options:
1.Full Record (red) – will record all the time using the Normal Record PPS.
2.Alarm Record (orange) – will record only when a specific action happens (video loss, motion, etc) using the Alarm Record PPS.
3.No Record (green) – the DVR will not record during the hour when this option is chosen.
You can now customize a recording schedule to meet your needs and specifications.
There are several advantages of setting up a customized recording schedule. When the DVR is on FULL RECORD 24/7, your hard drive will fill up quickly. To optimize your HDD space, you may wish to choose to record only when motion is detected at certain times, or to not record at all. You can set up your recording schedule based on your own preferences.
There are 5 different options for schedules, so you can set a separate schedule for long weekends, holidays, when you are on vacation, or for the days you will be away from your home/office and have to leave others in charge. Once the schedules are set, it is easy to switch from one to the other.
