DesignPro: How to Set up the Recording Schedule

Applies to: All DesignPro

Summary

This article explains how to set up recording schedules in DesignPro. To calculate storage capacity for recording as accurately as possible, recording conditions must be configured appropriately. Determine whether to perform 24-hour continuous recording or event-based recording. Even for event recording, simulate recording capacity through DesignPro by setting the frequency of event occurrences. These recording schedules can be configured in profiles then applied to individual cameras.

Creating a New Recording Schedule

To create a new recording schedule:

1. Log in to DesignPro.
   
   
2. Select Profiles > Schedule tab.
   
   
3. Click + New.
   
   

4. Enter a descriptive name.

   Example: "Event recording schedule"

5. Select the recording condition: Continuous, Event, No recording.

6. Select the range to change the recording schedule by clicking or dragging on the time table with the mouse.

7. Select one value from 10% to 90% when selecting events.
   
   

8. Click Save.
   
   
9. Click Default to use the created recording schedule as default.

Using the Recording Schedule

To use the recording schedule:

1. Click anywhere in the predefined Device profile to enter Edit mode.
   
   
2. Select one of the pre-created schedules in Recording schedule.
   
   

3. Apply a device profile to the camera added from the device menu.
   
   The storage capacity is simulated according to the recording schedule set in the applied device profile.

4. See DesignPro: How do I use Profiles of Devices? for information on how to apply the device profile to the camera.
