special characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]

3. In the top right corner of the dialog, select Set camera to start/stop on time to base

subsequent settings on periods of time or Set camera to start/stop on event to base
subsequent settings on events within periods of time.

You specify each day separately.

You specify time in increments of five minutes. XProtect Enterprise helps you by showing
the time over which your mouse pointer is positioned.

If you base your schedule profile

—or parts of it—on events within periods of time, remember to select

Start event and Stop event from the lists below the calendar section.

o

Use the Configure events list, located below the other fields to define events that suit your
needs.

As an alternative to dragging inside the calendar section, use the Start time, End time
and Day fields, then the Change Period or Set Period button as required. When using the
Start time and End time fields, remember that time is specified in increments of five
minutes. You cannot specify a period shorter than five minutes, and you can only use
times like 12:00, 12.05, 12:10, 12:15, etc. If you specify a time outside of the five-minute
intervals, such as 12:13, you will get an error message.
