Current Year Settings And Camera Selector for the Recording function
The
Date-time selector
in
Section 7
(see above) will change the year
concurrently. If you change the year with the
Date-time selector
, the current
year setting will also be changed.
The following is the
Camera selector
:
Here you can make two kinds of schedules: a schedule associated with a specific
camera, or
a general schedule that is not applied to a specific camera.
If you want to make a schedule that does not belong to any camera, select
the
first row for editing.
If you want to create a schedule for a specific
camera, then click on the row of the camera you
wish to schedule. Select the
Begin
and
End Times.
Add any other settings you wish to make.
Click
the
Add
icon to save the changes.
Using IP Surveillance Software (continued)
By default, the scheduler is running with the
current date selected on the time-lines and
Date-time picker
. Therefore, the current
scheduling year is the year that you run the
scheduler tool. To change the year setting:
Use the up (increase) and
down (decrease) arrows to
adjust the year setting.

period. You may want to record only

When you choose
Every Hour
, the recording scheduler will
be guided only by
the minutes setting.
Every hour
recording will occur during the minutes that
have been selected. (e.g., if the
Begin Time
was 2:20pm and the
End Time
was 7:40pm then the recording would be in effect from 20 minutes
past the
