Scheduled recording

Schedules determine when the camera will record video. For continuous recording, select the entire time range during every day of the week. If you need to minimize disk space usage, however, you can limit the recording to specific times, such as when a business is closed.

  1. Go to Cameras > Schedules.

  2. Click New.
  3. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the schedule.

  4. For each day of the week, drag your cursor over the time period that you want the camera to record video.

  5. For example, in the following screenshot, the camera is scheduled to record during weekends from 00:00 (12:00 AM/midnight) to 17:00 (5:00 PM). On weekdays, the camera is scheduled to record each morning from 00:00 to 6:00 AM.

  6. Click Save.

    To use the schedule, select it in a video profile that is used by multiple cameras, or a camera's individual video settings. For details, see Video recording settings.
