Scheduling all cameras

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

When you configure general scheduling and archiving, you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. Either in order to speed up things, or because the relevant properties are shared by all cameras rather than being specific to individual cameras.

Note that you can specify the properties for Online Period, Speedup, Notifications (Email and SMS), and PTZ Patrolling individually for each camera.

Template	The template can help you set similar properties for cameras and reduce the time you need to spend on changing settings if you have multiple cameras connected to your system. Example: You have 20 cameras and want to change the recording path, archiving path, and retention time for all cameras. You can enter the settings you want to use once and then apply the template to the 20 cameras to make all cameras have the same settings.
