The difference between recording and alarm/VCA/event arming schedules
The recording schedule defines when a recording can occur. The alarm and event
arming schedules define when triggered alarms and motion detection can be detected.
If you want to specify when triggered alarms, VCA or motion detection can or cannot be
recorded, you also need to plan their arming schedules. See “Motion detection” on
page 71, “VCA setup” on page 74 and “Set up alarm inputs” on page 96.
For example, for motion detection if you have deactivated the detection of motion in the
arming schedule for a certain time period then if motion happens during that period it
will not be recorded even if you have selected event recording type in the recording
schedule.
Motion detection will also not be recorded if it is not enabled (see “Motion detection” on
page 71).
