3.7 Scheduling
Scheduling screen is used to program two different types of tasks in the Nethunter server. The scheduled tasks
will be based on Nethunter server time activity.
It is important to know that these downloads are scheduled at Client PC level. Each PC could have different
scheduled downloads to execute.
3.7.1 Downloads (New download)
Download recorded video between two different dates to a local file. It is possible to download different
cameras from different devices. The format of the downloaded video file can be chosen between : native format
(only available on dvrs) and not native format (available on all devices. It’s possible to choose between AVI or
MKV as different destination encoding format according to the settings “Format” in Settings General). The
column “Progress” will show the progress percentage of the download.
WARNING
Downloaded video is recorded on the NHClient PC. The required disk space per each camera depends on the downloaded period and on the video
format provided by the device (MPEG-4, H.264 …).
Please, check the free disk space and disk size specifications before downloading video to ensure that you will have enough space available.
Otherwise these downloads will fail.
Downloads are high-CPU usage tasks. In case CPU usage gets close to 100%, frames will be discarded in order to avoid PC collapse. In order to
avoid this situation, it’s recommendable not to schedule many tasks simultaneously and to avoid executing other high-CPU usage tasks on the
same PC at the same time (like Live).
Downloads are executed by NHClient. If this module is closed or control is taken while any download is being executed, that download will be
restarted from the beginning when NHClient is launched again or control is released respectively.
