7.3 Specifying Operation Times
You can specify the days and times during which general users and guest users can view camera images (the administrator can always view camera images). When the camera is accessed outside of the operation time, the camera image on the single camera page, multi camera page, and buffered image page is displayed as a gray screen. Additionally, [The operation time has ended.] is displayed on the single camera page. Up to 7 different operation times can be set.
Note
•
Your privacy may be compromised if you set this feature incorrectly. To confirm that you have made the correct settings, access the camera as a general user or guest user during a time the camera is outside of the operational time to confirm that camera images cannot be seen.
•
Make sure the camera’s date and time setting is correct in order for this feature to function as desired.
1.
Click the [Setup] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Advanced], click [Operation Time].
3.
Select the desired operation time setting number.
•
If No. 1–7 are disabled, camera images can always be seen.
4.
Check [Enable] to enable this operating time setting number, then set the desired operation days and times.
•
Click [Always] to allow camera images to be seen at any time of day on the days which have a check mark under them.
Note
•
If 2 operating time settings overlap, the [Enable] setting takes priority.
In the example below, the camera is set to be disabled on Mondays (in setting No. 1) and is set to be disabled on Tuesdays (in setting No. 2). However, the camera can be accessed on both Mondays and Tuesdays because these days are each enabled by one of the settings.
