5. Edit button. Click to modify schedules and to copy schedules to other days of the week.

6. Timeline. There is a 24-hour time line for each day. Up to eight recording periods can be scheduled during the 24-hour peri od.

The difference between recording and alarm/VCA/event arming schedules

The recording schedule defines when a recording can occur. The alarm and event arming schedules define when triggered alarms and motion detection can be detected. If you want to specify when triggered alarms, VCA or motion detection can or cann ot be recorded, you also need to plan their arming schedules. See “Moti on det ec t ion” on page 71, “VCA setup” on page 74 and “Set up alarm inputs” on page 96.

For example, for motion detection if you have deactivated the detection of motion in the arming schedule for a certain time period then if motion happens during that period it will not be recorded even if you have selected event recording type in the recording schedule.

Motion detection will also not be recorded if it is not enabled (see “Moti on detection” on page 71).

Define a schedule in the recording schedule window

To set up a daily recording schedule:

1. From the menu toolbar, click Recording > Recording Schedule.

2. Select a camera.

3. Check the Enable Recording box to indicate that video from this camera is to be recorded.

4. Click a recording type in the legend to activate that record type. The cursor changes to a pen, and a yellow box appears around the schedule map and selected recording type.

5. Drag the pen cursor across desired hours and days in the schedule overview to mark those times with that specific record mode. To mark areas with a different record type, click on a different record type to activate it.

Manual recording

The recorder lets you manually record video during live view. This can be useful if you know that the recorder is not currently recording and you see something of interest on a camera screen that should be recorded.

Once a manual recording is started, the recording continues until it is manually stopped. If an alarm occurs during a manual recording, the alarm recording has priority over the manual recording. If a scheduled recording is already in progress when a manual recording is started, it continues to record as scheduled.

You can check to see if a camera is recording manually by looking at the icon on the live view toolbar. The icon is red when manually recording. Default is off.

There are two ways to start and stop a manual recording:

Use the live view toolbar

You can start/stop manual recording for each camera individually. Position the cursor over a camera image and left- click the mouse to display the live view toolbar. Click the manual record icon to start or stop manual recording. The icon is red when recording.
