The "Wake Up Speed" setting determines the speed of wireless wakeup. "Normal" works for
most applications but if you need a faster response time you can change this setting to "Fast".
Note: All Scout equipment for a given setup must have its wakeup speed set to the same value.
Equipment may not wake properly if not set to the same "Wake up" setting causing missed
photographs.
Battery consumption will increase on all devices when wake-up speed is set to "Fast".

7.2.6 Time Settings

The Scout PIR can limit when it will activate the camera (or wake up other Scout equipment)
based on the time of day. If you are only interested in night photographs or you want to
decrease "interest" in your equipment from two-leggeds during the day you can use the
"time settings" to create a "window" of time. You simply set the start time, and an end
time, and turn on the window. The current time of the connected computer/device is used.
Two windows are supported. This lets you set up more complex scenarios for triggering
(two hours in the morning, two hours in the evening).
If the current time is outside of both of the "windows" (and the windows are enabled) the
sensor will not activate the camera (even if the sensor path is crossed).

7.2.6.1 On Time

The "On Time" sets when the window begins.

7.2.6.2 Off Time

This will set the end time for the window. Here are a couple of examples:
On Time:
Off Time:
In this case the sensor will only activate the camera for a two hour period in the morning.
The next example is a little different:
On Time:
Off Time:
Since the start time is after the end time (because it is set to PM), the sensor will activate the
camera for 14 hours – starting at 6:00PM and ending at 8:00AM the following day. So please be
sure to pay attention to the AM/PM – it could easily get you into trouble!
