# Set Off Time

The <span class="s1">**Window Off Time**</span> setting defines the time of day when the sensor becomes <span class="s1">**inactive**</span>, marking the end of the period during which motion detection and triggering are enabled.

This setting works together with the <span class="s1">**Window On Time**</span> to establish the daily operating period for the sensor. For example, if you want the sensor to operate <span class="s1">**only at night**</span>, you might set the *Window On Time* to <span class="s1">**18:00 (6:00 p.m.)**</span> and the *Window Off Time* to <span class="s1">**06:00 (6:00 a.m.)**</span>.

#### **Setting the Window Off Time**

1. From the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span>, press the <span class="s1">**Right Arrow**</span> until you reach the <span class="s1">**Window Off Time**</span> screen.
2. Use the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> buttons to adjust the <span class="s1">**hour**</span> value.
3. Press the <span class="s1">**Set**</span> button to confirm the hour.
4. The <span class="s1">**minute**</span> value will then begin flashing — use the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> buttons to adjust it.
5. Press <span class="s1">**Set**</span> again to save the time.

The time is entered in <span class="s1">**24-hour format**</span> (00:00 to 23:59).

#### **Notes**

- Ensure the <span class="s1">**Time Windows**</span> feature is <span class="s1">**enabled**</span> for this setting to take effect.
- The <span class="s1">**sensor will remain inactive**</span> outside the defined time window.
- If the Off Time is set to the same value as the On Time, the sensor will remain active at all times.
- For reliable operation, confirm that the <span class="s1">**sensor clock**</span> is set correctly before defining time windows (see [**Set Clock Time**](https://docs.camtraptions.com/books/pir-v4-manual/page/set-clock-time "Set Clock Time") section).
