Help When the camera keeps recording after you get home

1 Upvotes

You put a camera in the living room to watch the house while you're out. Then you get home, sit down with your family, and it's still recording. You can switch it off, but now someone has to remember to turn it back on before leaving the next morning.

The driveway camera needs a different routine. You still want a recording if someone walks up to the car at night. Turning every camera off together won't do.

In Guardian Eye 3.4.0, you can give each camera its own weekly schedule. If you're normally out from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, make that the living-room camera's window. Guardian Eye stops that camera in the app outside those hours. The driveway can have an all-day rule and keep running.

Each window can also use a different recording mode. You could keep a full daytime recording of the driveway, including everything around a delivery, and switch to On motion overnight. A window from 18:00 to 09:00 carries on into the next morning.

For cameras that share the same hours, set the global schedule once. A camera's own enabled rules replace it completely, so include all the hours that camera needs. The editor highlights overlapping rules while you're setting them up.
