Configuring Recording Schedules
You can define the recorded footage schedule in the Record menu, 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). Motion detection recording is not set by default. Schedules can be set in hourly periods for individual days for each camera, with colour-coded options for:
- Regular/General for all regular recording.
- MD/Motion for recording on motion detection.
- Alarm for recording on triggering an integrated alarm.
- MD & Alarm for simultaneous alarm/motion detection recording.
- IVS for recording on triggering IVS (Intelligent Video Surveillance) such as a virtual tripwire.
- POS for point of sale transactions.
We recommend adding MD & Alarm & IVS to all channels to accompany your regular recording.
