How "Trigger Settings" affects "Trigger Settings Start-Stop"

I am using my camera (Verizon 4G) at a construction site to record our build as a time lapse. I would like to take a picture every 15 minutes from 8am to 7pm, with no motion detection. I would like to use motion detection only with no time lapse from 7pm to 8am. I am using the online settings editor and requested a settings update while the guys were working and photos were coming every few minutes, so the settings should have updated right away.

I set Trigger Settings: Start-Stop 1 as: Start time 08:00, Stop time 19:00, Trigger Interval 0s, Timelapse interval 15m

I set Trigger Settings: Start-Stop 2 as: Start time 19:00, Stop time 08:00, Trigger Interval 0s, Timelapse interval off.

I asked it to update settings and I see in command history that it successfully did that at noon today. I continued to get motion-triggered photos all afternoon.

I'm not sure how I am supposed to set up the overall Trigger Settings? Am I supposed to turn off sensitivity? I want sensitivity "normal" from 19:00 to 08:00 and off with timelapse only from 08:00 to 19:00... but I can only set sensitivity overall, not for the start-stop windows.

What am I missing?

The camera will still take motion triggered pictures while time lapse is on so with your interval set to zero it's going to take motion triggers as fast as it can as well as time lapse. Maybe during that time set the interval to 1 or 2 hours.

OK, thanks, I'll try that!
