from the

admin
dialog.
2.
In the camera tree select the camera for which you want to set up the recording schedule.
3.
At the bottom of the screen, click on the

dialog. If you are setting up a new camera, this dialog will be quite empty.

.
5.

list.

.

7.
Now you can define the days and times for the recordings. You can activate individual days or,
with the

If you want that recording can only be started manually then make sure that the

interval
checkbox is disabled.
Note:
When a user pushes the manual recording button in the Online monitor actually the

You can switch recording on and off by pushing the manual recording button. The recording state is

is shown.
