Configuring scheduling

i-Catcher Console allows you to define a schedule for when certain feeds should be operating. You can access the feed schedule from the Scheduling tab of the feed settings.

Scheduling is not enabled by default, and will cause the feed to run and process image data all of the time. When you enable scheduling, the schedule starts off blank, i.e. not running at any time.

The schedule is presented as a grid of hours versus days. The time resolution of the grid can be set to hours, half-hours, quarter-hours, or 5-minute intervals. A blue block in the schedule indicates the feed will be running for that time interval for that day, a white block indicates the feed will not run.

You can click to set and clear individual blocks, or you can click and drag across the schedule to highlight a whole time area or click the day and hour headers. Doing so will invert the state of any blocks that are already there.

When you enable the scheduling, the feed will start or stop as appropriate, but when disabling scheduling, it will start the feed running.

You can configure the feed to still run but not detect motion or record images by checking the option "Allow live views when this feed is stopped". This will allow the feed to be viewed through the web view even when it is scheduled to not run.
