From the Capture Schedule sub-menu you can create a unique timetable to tell the recorder when to capture snapshots. You can also choose how snapshots are captured. This could when motion is detected, when an alarm is triggered or constant capturing between certain hours.
As an example you could create a schedule which captures constant snapshots during busy business hours, then switches to just motion or alarm triggered snapshots at night when nobody is around. This would avoid wasting disk space capturing hundreds of snapshots where nothing happens during he night.
Camera
Select the camera you want to create the capture schedule for form the Camera drop down list..
Capture Types
