Add a timer event

Timer events are separate events, triggered by the type of event under which they are defined. Timer events occur a specified number of seconds or minutes after the event under which they are defined has occurred. Timer events may be used for a wide variety of purposes, typically for stopping previously triggered actions. Examples:

A camera starts recording based on a hardware input event, for example when a door is opened. A timer event stops the recording after 15 seconds
Lights are switched on and a camera starts recording based on a manual event. A timer event stops the recording after one minute, and another timer event switches the lights off after two minutes

To add a timer event, select any event you have previously configured, click the Add button, and specify required properties. Your system comes with two simple schedule profiles, Always on and Always off, which you cannot edit or delete. If these do not meet your needs, you can create any number of customized schedule profiles for each camera. You can reuse a customized schedule profile for more than one purpose if you want to. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-right corner of the Management Application.

Tip: You can add as many timer events as required under an event. This way, you can, for example, make one timer event trigger something 10 seconds after the main event, another timer event trigger something else 30 seconds after the main event, and a third timer event trigger something else 2 minutes after the main event.
