CREATING A RECORDING SCHEDULE
1. Select a connected camera from the Camera list.
2. Select the recording mode (Continuous, Motion, or Alarm). By default, the Continuous recording mode is selected.
3. After selecting the camera and the recording mode, you have two basic options for creating the schedule:
a. Set the time manually: Select a day from the Day list, Monday–Sunday. After selecting the day, adjust the start and end time for
that day using the up/down arrows. The time line (graph) will automatically be updated depending upon the day for which the
schedule has been set.
b. Set the time with the mouse: Drag the mouse on the calendar grid. For example, drag the mouse to start on Monday at 4:00 AM
and end on Monday at 5:00 PM. The start and end time displayed above the grid is updated automatically depending upon the
schedule drawn.
After a schedule is created, you can click on the left or right edge of the recording bar to adjust the start or end time.
You can schedule more than one block of time per day. For example, you might want to record continuously during the day
(8:00 AM–5:00 PM) and only record on motion or alarm from 5 pm to 8 am the following day. To achieve this, draw three discrete
schedules: 12 midnight to 7:59 AM, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and 5:01 PM to 11:59 PM (refer to Figure 110).

4. To repeat this process for each camera, click the “Apply Schedule To...” button. To clear a schedule, select Clear Schedule.
NOTE: To set up a schedule for the whole week, drag the mouse from the upper-left corner of the time line (12:00 AM on Monday) to the lower-
right corner of the time line (12:00 PM on Sunday). You can also drag the mouse across multiple rows to set up multiple days.
