EXAMPLE:
#1: If a user selected the Time Lapse mode, and sets the Start Time to
07:00 and End Time at 20:30, then selects the Timeout to be 3 mins
with a Burst mode of 3 pictures, this means that the camera will keep
taking 3 pictures for every 3 minutes within the time frame of 7:00AM
to 8:30PM. When not within the Time Lapse time frame, the camera
will follow the normal PIR detection settings.
#2: If a user selected the Time Lapse mode setting as Start Time 00:00
and End Time 00:00, then selected the Timeout to be 5 mins with a
Burst mode of 3 pictures, this means the camera will keep taking 3
pictures for every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day non-stop.

pictures caused wind or high temperature days.
