How about with a Config feature for the monitor, in which a recording schedule can be set? So that you can set the Monitor feature to schedule, such as in Surveillance Station from Synology.
The variant via cron and ZoneMinder status is nice, but if I want to affect different monitors at different times in their function (Monitor, Modect, etc.), it is very cumbersome and time consuming for each constellation a set to apply. Especially when times comes a new monitor it. Then I have to go all the sets by.
