The Amcrest Orion Surveillance software allows you the opportunity to set your added device to record on motion or on the continuous (general) recording schedules. The software uses a recording plan template to set recording schedules. For more information on how to set up recording schedules, please refer to the information provided below.
Click on the icon located in the Home menu and select Storage Plan.
Setting a Recording Plan
A general recording plan will allow the software and selected devices to record 24/7.
Ensure the option is enabled and click the Recording Time dropdown menu. The schedule will be set to record 24/7, all days of the week, however, can be set to recording during the week or only on the weekends. However, a custom Time Template can be used if needed.
Enter a name for the custom time template and click the period settings ( )option. A total of 6 periods can be set if needed by clicking the "+" icon. Enter a start and end time for the schedule. For instance, in this example we will set it to only recording from 6am (0600) - 4pm (1600). Select which days the schedule will apply and click OK.
The schedule will now be set in the software. Click OK.
