2021-10-05Last updated

Create custom recording schedules from the Security Center installer assistant to have cameras record in different recording modes for a specific time range.

Procedure

  1. On the Recording settings page, click under Recording schedule.
  2. Enter a name for the new schedule.
  3. From the Recording mode list, select one of the following:
    Off
    Recording is off.
    Continuous
    Cameras record continuously. This is the default setting.
    On motion/Manual
    Cameras record when triggered by an action (such as Start recording, Add bookmark, or Trigger alarm), by motion detection, or manually by a user.
    Manual
    Cameras record when triggered by an action (such as Start recording, Add bookmark, or Trigger alarm), or manually by a user.
    Note: When the Manual setting is used, then motion does not trigger any recording.
    Custom
    You can set a schedule for when recording occurs.
  4. For each day of the week, specify the time range for recording:
    • Click and drag to select a block of time.
    • Right-click and drag to clear a block of time.
    • Use the cursor keys to scroll through the 24-hour timeline.
    Tip: To switch to high-resolution mode, where each block represents 1 minute, click .
