Defining a recording schedule 
Defining a recording schedule lets you specify when the DVR records video and 
under what circumstances. Each camera can be configured to have its own 
recording schedule. 
The schedules are visually presented on a map for easy reference. See Figure 7 
below for an example. 
Figure 6: Description of the schedule window 
 
1.  Camera. Select a camera. 
2.  Schedule time. Represents the 24-hour cycle during which a schedule is selected.  
3.  Schedule day. There are seven days to select: Sunday (Sun), Monday (Mon), Tuesday 
(Tue), Wednesday (Wed), Thursday, (Thu), Friday (Fri), and Saturday (Sat). 
4.  Recording type. There are five recording types to select, which are color-coded: 
 TL Time lapse (Green squares): Record of a specific day. Each green square in the timeline 
represents an hour in the 24-hour period. 
 TL-Hi (Dark green): High quality time lapse. Records high quality video. 
 TL-Lo (Bright green): Low quality time lapse. Records low quality video. This could be used, 
for example, for night recordings when few events or alarms are expected. Saving the 
video in low quality helps save resources on the HDD.  
 Event (Yellow): Records only events, such as motion detection and POS/ATM text insertion. 
 Alarm (Red): Records only alarms. 
 None (Grey): No recording during this period. 
5.   Timeline. There is a 24-hour time line for each day. Up to eight recording periods can be 
scheduled during the 24-hour period.
