Creating a Recording Policy: Overview
For most users, the quickest and easiest way to set up a camera and schedule and record
video is to use the
Add Camera Wizard .
If you cannot use the Add Camera Wizard (for example, if your camera information is not
included in the manufacturer or model list) you can create a recording policy in Basic Mode
manually as explained below.
Also, if you want to set up and define additional recording configuration options, you can use
the
Advanced Mode of the Camera Policies application.

1. Launch the Camera Policies application.
2. The Camera tab should already have focus. Select the video recording or capturing
options you desire.
3. Select the Scheduling tab to choose whether to schedule recurring jobs or individual jobs.
4. Click to save all policy settings and implement the recording policy.
