How to force the unit into another operating mode (Day/Night/
Weekend)
It is possible from the unit web pages to manually force the unit to switch from the current operating
mode to any of the other enabled modes.
For this feature to operate correctly the following checks must be made.
Schedule Settings - Ensure the schedule recording settings have been congured for the relevant
operational modes (Day, Night, Weekend). Forcing the unit into a mode that has not been pre-
congured with record settings could result in the unit not recording as required.
Advanced Alarms - Within the OSD Advanced Alarm menu there is an option to enable the Force
Day, Night and Weekend options, these must be enabled to make the buttons active of the web
pages. Make sure only the buttons that have the relevant recording settings congured are enabled,
refer to the unit Setup Guide for more details on the OSD menus.
To force the unit into one of the operation mode:
1. Select System -> Remote Set/Unset/Overide menu.
2. Enter the override duration in minutes.
3. Enter the Operator name.
4. Select the Force Day, Night or Weekend mode button.
Note: The buttons will be greyed out if the operational mode has not been enabled in the OSD
Advanced Alarm menu.
When the system has been forced into one of the other operating modes the screen will change to
show the Mode and the time the unit will remain in this mode for.
