Setup events

There are two types of events, Standard event and Cron event.

To setup more complex repeat intervals use the Cron event otherwise use the Standard event.

Note! To start and stop a recording you normally need to create two events, one for starting a recording and one for stopping it!

The Action field in an event could contain one of these actions:

ActionDescription

Example of how to start a recording beginning on every hour

Every Action of a start recording will always start a new recording, so in this example it will create a new recording on every hour, no need to create a stop event.
