2. Click on Record Schedule Setting on the left. Here we can select when we would like the cameras to record on motion or a schedule.

3. Select the camera from the drop down menu.

4. By default the system is setup to do Motion Rec. () in Purple. To change this select either Normal Rec. () in Green or Normal&Motion Rec. () in Blue

5. Click, hold, and drag the cursor over the time frame you would like to set.

6. Normal Recording does recording full time.

7. Normal&Motion Recording is full time recording but displays where there is motion on the playback time line.

Below is an example of a camera recording on motion from 8:00 am-5:00pm then recording Normal&Motion from 5:00 pm-8:00 am.

After the record schedule is set or if you just wish to leave everything on motion we can enter the camera’s settings to setup it’s motion properties.
