# Copying a Recording Schedule

Navigation: Working with Nx Witness > Device Management (Cameras, Encoders and I/O Modules) > Setting Up Cameras and Devices > Recording Modes > # Copying a Recording Schedule |

Once a recording schedule is configured on one camera, the settings can be copied to a different one. This is especially convenient, for instance, when a new camera is plugged in a System.

To copy a Recording Schedule

1.Open the context menu for the camera that has the schedule that should be copied and choose Camera Settings -> Recording.

2.Click on the Copy Schedule button.

3.In the Select Devices dialog that opens, check the cameras the schedule should be copied to. Check a server to copy the schedule to all cameras on that server. To filter the search, use the Filter box (see "Search"). You can hover the mouse cursor over a camera name to see a thumbnail of the camera's image. If desired, you can also copy the archive length settings (see "Configuring Minimum and Maximum Archive Storage") by checking Copy archive length settings.

Note: A license is required for each camera the recording schedule is copied to. A dynamic message will indicate how many licenses are needed and how many are available. See "Nx Witness Licenses" for details.

4.Click Apply or OK when finished. To discard changes, click Cancel.
