The video channel selection area 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.
The Primary schedule consists of the
day time-line,
week time-
line,
begin time selector
,
end time selector
, and event mode
settings.
The Secondary schedule consists of event mode settings.
The operation buttons allow the user to manipulate the edited
schedule of the selected video channel. The scheduler can be
closed from here.

Primary Schedule
Schedule with Time Lines
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 101) if you
want to choose the days to record on.
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.
Marking/Unmarking the Recording Time on the Week Time-Line
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 clicking and dragging 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
There are three controlling units in both “Begin Time” and “End Time” selectors shown
below. 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 on the right 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.
