Configuring an Advanced Recording Schedule
An advanced recording schedule allows you to schedule multiple time periods per day for recording as oppose
to a single time period of a quick recording schedule. Setting up an advanced recording schedule will allow you
to further conserve disk space by recording only during the time periods you would like to record at.
To setup an advanced recording schedule:
1. Enter the Advanced Schedule Configuration menu, shown in Figure 24 by going to Main Menu > Recording
Configuration > Advanced Schedule Configuration.
