There are six blocks of time you can use to
schedule recording and each camera can be
individually configured or they all may share the
same schedule. In addition, you may set up indi-
vidual schedules for each day, or you may share
the same schedule across every day.
Cameras may be scheduled to record in different
modes at different times of the day.

An example of such a mixed schedule is shown
in
Picture 6-4
. In this example, Camera 1 is
scheduled to record if motion is detected (MD)
from midnight to 8am and then records continu-
ously from 8am to noon (Regular) followed by a
one-hour motion detection recording segment
until 1pm before returning to continuous record-
ing after that. Then, at the end of the day, it is in
motion detection mode from 5pm to midnight.
The scale running along the bottom of the menu
ranges from 0 to 24, representing the hours of
a day. You can set starting and ending times to
any specific minute you choose.
