Name Description
Schedule profile for new
cameras
Select which online schedule profile to use as default for cameras
you subsequently add to your XProtect Express 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 Express server for live viewing and further processing.
Maximum delay between
reconnect attempts
Control the aggressiveness of reconnection attempts. If XProtect
Express 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 Express automatically archives (see "About archiving" on page 120) recordings if a camera's
database becomes full (in earlier versions, this was an option configured individually for each camera).
Properties available in all XProtect software versions:

Archiving Times
Specify when you want XProtect Express to automatically move
recordings to your archiving path(s). You can specify up to 24
archiving times per day, with minimum one hour between each one.
Select the hour, minute and second values and click the up and
down buttons to increase or decrease values, or simply overwrite
the selected value, and then click Add. The more you expect to
record, the more often you should archive.
Send e-mail on archiving
failure
If selected, XProtect Express will automatically send an e-mail to
selected recipients if archiving fails. This requires that the e-mail
notification (on page 130) feature is enabled. Recipients are defined
as part of the e-mail notification properties.
Properties available in XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Professional only:
Send SMS on archiving failure
Select if the system should automatically send an SMS if archiving
fails. You define the recipients of the SMS notifications as part of
the SMS notification configuration.
