Scheduling options
When you configure general scheduling and archiving (see "Configure general scheduling and
archiving" on page 131), you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. In the case of
Scheduling Options, it is because the properties are shared by all cameras.
Name Description
Start cameras on client
requests
Cameras may be offline, for example because they have reached
the end of an online recording schedule (see "Online period" on
page 134), in which case client users will not be able to view live
video from the cameras. However, if you select Start cameras on
client requests, client users will be able to view live video from the
camera outside online schedule
—but without recording (technically:
force the camera to be online outside its online schedule).
You must select Enable recording when started on client
request (see the following), if you want recording to take place.
Enable recording when
started on client request
Enable recording on the camera when Start cameras on client
requests (see the previous) is also selected.
If a user does not have access to manual recording (see "Camera
access" on page 166), selecting Enable recording when started
on client request, will not enable the user to do manual recording.
Schedule profile for new
cameras
Select which online schedule profile to use as default for cameras
you subsequently add to your XProtect Enterprise system. Note that
your selection only applies for the online schedule, not for any other
schedules. Default selection is Always on, meaning that new
cameras will always be online, that is transferring video to the
XProtect Enterprise server for live viewing and further processing.
Maximum delay between
reconnect attempts
Control the aggressiveness of reconnection attempts. If XProtect
Enterprise loses the connection to a camera, it will by default
attempt to re-establish the connection after ten seconds. In some
environments, for example if using vehicle-mounted cameras
through wireless connections, camera connections may frequently
be lost, and you may want to change the aggressiveness of such
reconnection attempts.
You can view live and even record video from a camera outside its online recording schedule. To do
this, you select the Start cameras on client requests and, if needed, the Enable recording when
started on client request options in the following when setting up your scheduling properties for the
camera in question.
Archiving
XProtect Enterprise automatically archives (see "About archiving" on page 126) recordings if a
camera's database becomes full (in earlier versions, this was an option configured individually for each
camera).
