Hi all

I'm a new user of ZoneMinder and it is great!

One thing I haven't figured out is how to put a "schedule" on the alerts. Basically I would like SoneMinder to record the alerts only during specific hours.

Thank you very much.

This is all well and good, I suppose ...

However ...

1. Where is the current state displayed? e.g. 'Day' or 'Night'

2. The act of saving the state, given stop, start, or restart, are going to happen in the process, is a little strange.

- It would be useful if one of the choices, besides start, stop, or restart, is just 'save state'. (Let alone the state be a drop down box. [e.g. default, New, Day, Night])

- And it would be useful if the console said 'Running (Day)', not just 'Running'.

It would be useful if monitors could have their own individual schedules. e.g. I have one monitor near a window - at night all it's going to see is window reflections of inside (it's pointed outside). Nothing I can do about that. It'd be nice if I could switch it from MoDect to Motion (or None) between 10 pm and 5 am (say). Then I could avoid playing with states at all.

I guess my other option is to auto-delete events during that time, via cron script every morning at 6 am, or something.
