Snooze a camera's alerts

What a snooze does

A snooze silences one camera for a while. Then its alerts come back on their own. It is a time, not a switch: the camera's Notifications switch and its Alert types stay exactly as they were.

• While it runs, this camera shows no banners: none for its events, and no Camera is not responding. or Stopped accepting its password. notification.
• Its events are still recorded, still listed in Events, and still counted on the app icon.
• Your other cameras are not affected.
