From the Alarm Schedule sub-menu you can create a unique timetable to tell the recorder when alarm triggered events should be active for each camera.
For example, you may have motion detection configured on camera 1 so that when movement is detected one of the recorders alarm outputs is triggered and a snapshot is uploaded to an FTP server. With an alarm schedule this could be set to only happen at night, outside of business hours, when no staff members are on site.
If you were to schedule alarm outputs for camera 1 to be active between 7pm and 7am, any events where camera 1 would trigger an alarm output will only do so during these hours.
Camera
