From the Record Schedule sub-menu you can create a unique timetable to tell the recorder when to capture footage. You can also choose how recordings are captured. This could when motion is detected, when an alarm is triggered or constant recording between certain hours.
As an example you could create a schedule which captures constant footage during busy business hours, then switches to just motion or alarm triggered recording at night when nobody is around. This would avoid wasting disk space capturing hours of footage where nothing happens during he night.
