2.1.7 Configuring Recording Schedules
Finally, you will be prompted to setup your
Schedule
for recording. Here you can define the recorded footage schedule
in the
Record
menu (Fig. 2.14), and the recorded image snapshot schedule in the
Snapshot
menu. By default, cameras
are set to non-stop Regular recording (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
Schedules can be set in hourly periods for individual days for each camera, with colour-coded options for:
• General (green)
for all regular recording.
• MD (yellow)
for recording on motion detection.
• Alarm
(red)
for recording on triggering an integrated alarm
• MD & Alarm (orange)
for simultaneous alarm/motion detection recording
• Intel (blue)
for recording on triggering IVS (Intelligent Video Surveillance) such as a virtual tripwire
• POS (violet)
for point of sale transactions.
We recommend adding motion detection and intelligent recording to all channels to accompany your regular recording:
