Configuring schedules
Schedules are used in several places:
• When configuring a user under System > Administrator > User Profile, schedules are used to
specify when the users can access the camera. For details, see “Configuring user accounts”
on page 54.
Note: For user access, schedule gaps are allowed. If not scheduled, then access is denied.
Scheduce overlaps are allowed. And one-time schedules take precedence over recurring
schedules.
• When configuring camera video settings under Camera > Configuration > Camera Profile,
schedules are used to specify when to use low or high quality video. For details, see
“Configuring camera profiles” on page 37.
Note: For video quality schedules, gaps and overlaps are not allowed. And one-time
schedules take precedence over recurring schedules.
• When configuring camera recording settings under Camera > Configuration > Camera
Profile, schedules are used to specify when to trigger the different types of recording. For
details, see “Configuring camera profiles” on page 37.
Note: For cameral recording schedules, gaps and overlaps are allowed. And one-time
schedules take precedence over recurring schedules.
• When configuring camera settings under Camera > Configuration > Camera, schedules are
used to specify when to use different camera settings, such as DNR level, brightness,
contrast, saturation, and sharpness. For details, see “Configuring cameras” on page 44.
Note: For cameral setting schedules, gaps are allowed. But overlaps are not allowed. And
one-time schedules take precedence over recurring schedules.
• When configuring camera notifications under Camera > Notification > Camera Notification,
schedules are used to control when to send out notifications. For details, see “Configuring
cameras to send notifications” on page 71.
Note: For camera notification schedules, overlaps are not allowed but gaps are allowed. And
one-time schedules take precedence over recurring schedules.
