How to Edit Recording Schedules
After editing recording storage settings, you can begin to edit recording schedules for the
devices in a storage group. By default, all devices are assigned to the default recording
schedule (Please refer to the default time frame settings on page 93). Therefore, once you
insert a device to the station, the VAST Server will begin to record live video according to the
default recording schedule. You can also manually remove a device from the default recording
schedule. Please note that you cannot assign recording schedules to those devices which
have been deleted from a Storage Group.
The following is an illustration of a set of recording schedules, which are composed of several
time frames. Each time frame has its own time segments, period of time, repeat interval, and
recording mode. You can create different recording schedules with simple or complex time
frames based on your needs.
In addition, you can arrange the priority of each time frame according to its importance. The
recording schedule with the highest priority will be applied first. This capability is very useful
because you can specify a new time frame with the highest priority temporarily without modifying
the other time frames.
Features of the recording schedules:
Each device can be assigned to only one recording schedule.
Each recording schedule may contain many time frames.
Each time frame has its own repetition frequency and recording mode.
To save time editing recording schedules and time-frames, we also provide a useful template
function to save your time on schedules/time-frames settings. That is, you can save a specied
schedule and download it as a template for future use or upload a well-arranged schedule
template designed by others.
Please note that after you save the recording settings in the server, the recording schedule will
automatically begin according to your settings.
