Recording Schedules
The DVR5100 is configured by default to record video from all cameras 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To optimize your storage capacity, you can
do the following:
• Set up schedules to activate recording for specific cameras at certain dates and times.
• Set up a recording schedule that is activated when specific events occur. For example, you might create a recording based on event
groups, alarms related to a specific camera, and motion detection on certain cameras.
You must configure event groups, alarms or motion detection settings before you can include them in recording schedules. Event groups must be
set up while you are logged on to the DVR5100 Remote Client application. For more information about setting up event groups, refer to the
DVR5100 Remote Client Software manual. For more information about setting up alarms or motion detection on cameras, refer to the Alarm
Array Setup on page 70 and Relay Array Setup on page 92.
