record only during a specific time
Hello,
i really like Viseron. It's simple to use and does almost erverything i need. I am currently using it to record if somethin is moving. But i only want i to record during a specifig time. Like between 10p.m. and 6 a.m.
Is somethin like this posible with viseron?
Ditto to this, I'm doing continuous recording but would like to set timing for that to reduce storage consumption.
Not currently no, if you have an external system like Home Assistant for example you can toggle the cameras on/off using MQTT

I'm currently using it as a pure NVR, but does not require continuous recording for certain cams after certain hours to save storage space. (love the fact I can run with multiple cams with crazy low resources because I can disable detectors). At present moment, I'm using cron scheduler to bring up and down the entire container, though a more graceful method would have been preferred.
Yeah it's a totally valid use case, im thinking a config like this would make sense?
nvr:
camera_1:
active_schedule:
- start: 08:00
end: 16:00
This would then toggle the camera on between 8-16, otherwise it is off.
Would that work or do you guys expect something else?
Be it continuous or event triggered, setting the recorder schedule at NVR is a great start since that controls the recorder.
Future idea can include scheduler for specific day(s) of the week, or schedule for detectors.

Yes something like this would be awesome!
you can do this if the camera is reolink because this function is built into those. i don't know if other cameras have this
