"u2028Yes, you can specify two PRE-SCHEDULED TIME INTERVALS each day to automatically start/stop video recording. Want to check if your kids are home when they're supposed to? Schedule the recording to start at 3 o'clock! (Only for paid version.)

--- What if I don't happen to see, and I don't know when, something is going to happen?
