Hello,
I recently acquired a Hikvision DVR model IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT and found that it unfortunately does not support a function that my other Hikvision DVR model EV4008TURBOD does have. This function is the possibility to define a Recording Schedule that is different than the Arming Schedule defined for motion event recording.
On the EV4008TURBOD DVR I can define a Recording Schedule based on Motion (not Event), meaning that it will record whenever motion is detected in the days/hours specified. In this same equipment, I can define a separate Arming Schedule, in the different days/hours specified, based on a Motion Event, that will trigger a "Send Email" Alarm Linkage Action. For example, I can define a Recording Schedule that will only record when motion is detected in all 24 hours / 7 days a week and on the other hand I can define an Arming Schedule that will trigger sending an email only from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when a Motion event is detected.
On the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT I cannot define these functions separately. I can define the Recording Schedule based on Event (not Motion), which will only record during the days/hours defined in the Arming Schedule for the Motion Event. So, if I set the Arming Schedule to trigger sending an email from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when a Motion event is detected, the Recording Schedule will only record from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when motion is detected.
I believe that this limitation is due to the fact that the EV4008TURBOD will allow defining a Recording Schedule based on Movement (not Event), whereas the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT will only allow defining a Recording Schedule based on Event (not Motion):
EV4008TURBOD
IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT
I have already updated to the latest Firmware on the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT.
I will greatly appreciate any comments or ideas on how I could get this function to work on this DVR that I recently acquired, if at all possible.
Thank you,
