SCHEDULE SETUP
A schedule can be used to customize your recording modes by the hour for every
day of the week. This is beneficial for business environments that have different
hours during weekdays and the weekend. For home use, you can set different
record modes for the days you have people over for housework, yard work, or even
babysitters. By default, the DVR is set to automatically record a 24/7 schedule. You
have a choice to customize up to 5 different recording schedules.

24/7 schedule represents one hour.
