4. Enable

Scheduled

5. Click

Benchmark Camera

to select one camera as benchmark camera. Once

benchmark camera is selected, other cameras keep time synchronization with it.

6. (Optional) Enter

Delay Time

according to actual demands.

⚫

The delay time should NOT be shorter than the maximum time required to transmit the

command across the network.

⚫

When the benchmark camera receives the command, all the cameras will trigger certain

actions simultaneously after the specified delay time.

7. (Optional) Enable

Periodically Send

to enable the client to send commands periodically, and

enter

Sending Interval

according to actual demands.

The default value of

sending interval is 1000 ms, and its range is from 1 ms to 3600000 ms.

8. (Optional) Enable
