Schedular isn't working

I have just 4 cameras and added the schedular module, and I have 5 modules including the Universal camera module.
Do I need to remove a module to get the schedular one to work to the times I have set. Otherwise the schedular module records around the clock.

Hello! Could you post 2 screenshots:
1) chain of modules
2) Scheduler settings

Unfortunately, it's difficult to make out the connections between modules on the screenshot. Please check if Scheduler is connected to both the camera and the archive (directly ot indirectly).

Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures, but have now done proper screenshots of chain of modules and schedular setting.
How or where do I check if Scheduler is connected to both the camera and the archive.

Thanks

Still a bit hard to tell what's connected to what. If you want your Scheduler to affect the archive - see screenshot1. If you want your Scheduler to affect Save to File - see screenshot2.

Hi, what can I do to make it easier to see what is connected to what.
If you mean the modules then they are like this:

Motion Detector is connected to the Universal Camera
Preview and Archive is connected to the Motion Detector
Schedular is connected to Universal Camera
Save to File is connected to Universal Camera

If this is what you want, how can I get the schedular to connected like screenshot2

There are 2 ways to do it:
1) Hold the right pin of the Scheduler and drag it to the left pin of the Save to File (see screenshot3), then click the line between Universal camera and Save to File and choose Delete connection.
2) Hold the module Scheduler and drag it to the line between Universal camera and Save to File.

Thanks for that, and now when I have the Schedular and save to file connected to the Universal Camera as screenshot2, only the pictures are sheduled, and not the videos. The cameras are recording when motion occurs during the day or outside of the sheduled times.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between 'Save to File' and 'Archive'

What I would like is for the video or recordings to be saved to file, as the same with the pictures, which are scheduled. Then I can view them at a later time.
Now is that save to file or archive, lol

Thanks

I have it sorted, now that I know that the modules can be moved around to connect to other modules.

The Schedular is connected to the Universal Camera, then The Motion Detector to the Schedular, then Preview and Archive to the Motion Detector.
The Save to File is connected to the Schedular.
All the videos and pictures are now just being recorded as per the Shedular, which is working great.
Thanks
