To set up a recording schedule:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Storage > Schedule Settings >
Record Schedule.
2. Select the Enable check box to enable recording.
Note: To disable recording, deselect the option.
3. Click Advanced to set the camera record parameters. Select Overwrite to
overwrite the recording. Configure Pre-record, Post-record, and Stream Type.
Pre-record time
The pre-record time is set to start recording before the scheduled time or event. For
example, if an alarm triggers recording at 10:00, and the pre-record time is set as 5
seconds, the camera starts to record at 9:59:55. The pre-record time can be
configured as No Pre-record, 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s, 25s, 30s, or Not Limited.
Post-record time
The post-record time is set to stop recording after the scheduled time or the event.
For example, if an alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and the post-record time
is set as 5 seconds, the camera records until 11:00:05. The post-record time can be
configured as 5s, 10s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 5min, or 10min.
4. Select a recording type from the drop-down list:
• Schedule: For scheduled recording.
• Motion: Video is recorded when the motion is detected.
• Alarm (Desktop cameras only): Video is recorded when the alarm is triggered
via the external alarm input.
• Motion | Alarm (Desktop cameras only): Video is recorded when the external
alarm is triggered or motion is detected.
• Motion & Alarm (Desktop cameras only): Video is recorded when motion and
alarms are triggered at the same time.
• Event: Video is recorded if the configured alarms for events (cross line
detection, intrusion, or a desktop camera PIR alarm) are triggered.
5. Click and drag along the time bars or click on a time bar to configure recording
schedule times and alarm/event types.
