Choose the future time window
Set when the monitoring session should begin and end.
Schedule an audio recording session for the time you need
When the sound you want to catch usually happens later, Owl Recorder lets you define a future recording window and combine it with threshold-triggered recording.
Scheduling removes the need to remember to start the recorder at the exact time. Combining a scheduled session with a sound threshold also avoids filling the device with unnecessary silent recordings.
How it works
Select the sound threshold
Choose the sensitivity appropriate for the environment.
Let the session run
During the selected time range, meaningful sound events above the threshold are saved automatically.
Useful for
- Night-time monitoring
- Recurring apartment noise
- Sleep sound sessions
- Times when you cannot start recording manually
Frequently asked questions
Can I schedule a recording instead of starting it immediately?
Yes. Owl Recorder supports future recording sessions for a defined time range.
Will the scheduled session save silence?
No. Saved audio is created only when sound crosses the selected threshold during the active session.
Can I still start a session immediately?
Yes. Both immediate and scheduled sessions are supported.
