My camera is On but not recording

• In the Monitor view, “On” means that Vitamin D Video will record video from that camera if:
  • The rule is enabled (the check box next to the rule is selected)
  • A rule is scheduled to run. By default, all rules run 24 hours per day, but you can set a rule to run at certain times (which is described here).
• “Off” means that video from this camera will not record, regardless of whether the rule is scheduled to run.
• Whether or not the application window is open doesn’t affect the recording rules. If you exit the application with a camera On, video will record whenever enabled rules are scheduled to run.
• Examples of On states:
  • The camera is turned On, but disabled. It will not record at any time:

  • Camera is Off, and the rule has a schedule associated with it (in the example below, this camera will not turn on at 8 PM when the rule is scheduled to start):
