Enhancing Video
Each camera or the triggering of alarms can be scheduled to either:
• Be Always ON. No schedule is used. Cameras using this setting record at all times.
• Use Schedule (default). The simplest way to simultaneously schedule all cameras
and alarms is to customize the Default schedule; see
Customizing a Schedule , page
119 , and Notes on Holidays and Exceptions , page 122 .
• Use Schedule (defined schedule). Use this option to schedule a camera, group of
cameras, or alarms separately. See
Adding a Schedule on page 119 .
Video Archive
A benefit of using schedules for the recording of video feeds is that it spares storage on a
Multi-Media unit. This helps an organization to maintain a potentially longer video archive.
See
Calculating the Length of the Video Archive on page 134 .
Live Video
Live video is not affected by scheduling.
Alarms
The reporting of alarms is scheduled in the same way as Continuous video recording, using
the Default schedule or another, defined schedule. See
Alarms and Scheduling , page 121 .
Motion
If Motion is enabled on a camera, the motion events are recorded only when a camera is
scheduled to record. If motion is set up to trigger alarms, alarms will only be raised if the
alarms are scheduled for that time and day.
Audio Feeds
Audio is recorded when it is enabled. Audio is not affected by the recording schedules.
Data Streams
The data from point-of-sales devices (POS) is always recorded and is not affected by the
recording schedules.
Using a Schedule
You have the option of adding, customizing and deleting a schedule, using the Define
Schedules option. A schedule can then be assigned to one or many cameras, to alarms or
to a response.
