Location

Scheduling (continued)

Part 1

The first part of the scheduler is the video channel selection area.

It provides the IP addresses and location information of the

connected video channels for the user’s reference. You can select

a video channel in this area and create a schedule for it.

Part 2

The second part is the Primary schedule settings. It consists of

the

day time-line,

week time-line,

begin time selector

,

end

time selector

, and event mode settings.

Part 3

The third part is the Secondary schedule, which consists of event

mode settings.

Part 4

The fourth part contains

the operation buttons

for the user to

manipulate the edited schedule of the selected video channel.

The scheduler can be closed from here.

Scheduling (continued)

In this area you will select the video channel that you want to set a schedule for.

Each video channel will display a name, IP address, and location. Please note

that when you switch between video channels in this area, the changes in the

schedule of the previous video channel will be saved automatically.

Primary Schedule

Schedule with Time Lines

Week Time-Line

In the figure below, Week time-line is displayed. It includes the time-line, schedule

information, and the selected day in the week.

There are two different time-lines: hour unit time-line and week unit time-line.

You can make your own schedule by plotting markers in all time-lines. These

two time lines are associated with each other. That is, if you make changes in

one time-line, the corresponding changes will be applied with scale to the other

three time-lines in the same schedule. Before you begin, make sure that you

select “Once” (page 100) if you want to choose the days to record on.

The corresponding changes for the markers on the week time-line will be

automatically added to the hour time-lines, which is shown above. You can

also mark and unmark the plotted bar by dragging and dropping with the left

and the right mouse button.

Hour Time-Line

In the figure below, the Hour time-line is displayed.

Marking/Unmarking the Recording Time on the Hour Time-Line

You can apply the one-click function by clicking the left mouse button and

dragging to mark the time on this time-line. The operating method for the hour

time-line is the same as that of the week time-lines. Please refer to the previous

section about marking/unmarking on the week time-line for more details

.

Schedule with Time Picker

Begin and End Time

Date picker

Hour picker

Minute picker

There are three controlling units in both “Begin Time” and “End Time” selectors

shown above. The first unit of these two selectors is the date picker. You can

select day with it to set the beginning time and the ending time for the recording

interval.

The second and third units are the hour picker and the minute picker. You can

change the hour and minute settings for the beginning and ending time with

them.

NOTE: The time set in “Begin time” must be earlier than that in “End time”.

Otherwise the settings will not be applied.

Apply and Erase Buttons

After you have selected the time period with “Begin time” and “End time” picker,

you can apply the period picker, shown in the figure below, to set the periodical

types of the time interval set previously. After the settings in “Begin Time”, “End

Time” and “Period Picker” are all done, you should click the “Apply” button or

“Erase” button to add or clear this scheduling information to the editing schedule

scheme. Note that only after you click on the “Apply” button, the scheduling

information settings will be written back into the whole editing schedule scheme.

That means this edited scheduling time interval is valid only after you “Apply”

the changes.

Schedule in event mode

You can select to record in Event mode or Continuous mode by the Schedule

mode selector as shown in the figure below. There are two types of event

recording. Please refer to the following two sections for more information.

Motion Detection

As shown above, you can check the windows to determine which window(s)

will be used to trigger the recording. The motion windows are labeled in the

order in which they are added when configuring motion detection for the camera.

For example, Window1 is the first window added, regardless of if the name of

the window has been changed.
