Security camera recording schedule not working
Your recording schedule did not save properly. The most common reasons are that your camera ran out of storage space, the schedule settings are not being applied, or there is a time sync problem. We will clear the old schedule, check your storage, and set up a new one.
Recording schedules fail when your camera's storage is full, when the schedule settings are not syncing properly, or when the camera's internal clock is wrong. We will check your storage, reset the schedule, and make sure the camera's time is correct.
- ✓Check how much storage space your camera has left. If the drive is full, the camera cannot record.
- ✓Check the camera's time and date. If they are wrong, the schedule will not trigger at the right time.
- ✓Check if the schedule actually saved. Open the camera app and go back to the schedule settings to see what is there.
- ✓Check if the camera is still powered on. If it lost power, the schedule was reset.

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Setting the schedule but forgetting to save it. Always look for a Save or Apply button at the end of setting up the schedule.
- Not checking that the time zone is correct on the camera. If the time zone is wrong, the schedule triggers at the wrong time.
Signs you need professional help
- If the schedule still does not work after you have freed up storage space, set the correct time, and created a new schedule, there is a hardware issue with the camera. Give us a call and we will help troubleshoot.
