Scheduling activate cam and then deactivate
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2021 5:26 am
New user for BI and i'm having a lot of trouble with profiles and schedules. I have one cam that I only want ON for a couple hours a day (8am till 10am) then completely offline the rest of the day. During those couple hours it should motion detect like normal but then turn off for the other 22 hours.
I'm in schedule drawing green and red bars all over and setting the cam to Active right now but when I hit OK the cam stays inactive.
I should mention i'm switching from ispy where you just click Enable and a time, then Disable and a time. I get that BI can trigger other things but this seems so overly complicated to me! I want to just draw green when its on and red when its off. Not sure what all this other stuff is for. And YES I did go through the help file and watched several youtube videos. They're all about setting the recording, not the active/inactive.
