Automatic Scheduled Recording
The ViconNet automatic scheduled recording capability enables you to configure the system to automatically
record and display camera inputs according to specific time schedules without user intervention. This consists
of first configuring macros in the system for the devices you want to record with automatically. Each macro is
made up of user-defined commands that instruct the system about which devices to record, how long to
record, recording quality, and so on. Refer to the
Creating Macros
section of
Chapter 3, Configuring the
ViconNet System
, for additional details.
After you have created the required macros, you can create a schedule for each macro. This consists of
configuring the days of the week, the start and stop time, and the run option for the specific macro. The run
option enables you to configure the macro to run continuously during the selected time period or only at
selected intervals. Refer to the
Creating Schedules
section of
Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet System
,
for additional details.
The combination of the two configurations described above (macro and schedule) causes the system to
record the devices defined in the macro at the times configured in its associated schedule (thus automatic
scheduled recording).
For example, you can configure a schedule to run the macro that has been configured to record
Device A
seven days a week from midnight to midnight (using continuous running or run cycles), or you can select a
run option to run the macro only once an hour instead of continuously during the defined time period.
To perform automatic scheduled recording:
1. Create one or multiple macros, according to your requirements, as described in the
Creating Macros
section of
Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet System
.
2. Create one or multiple schedules, according to the macros that you created, as described in the
Creating
Schedules
section of
Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet System.
When you launch the ViconNet application, all devices configured to perform automatic scheduled
recording (according to the configured macros and schedules) will be activated at the configured times.
