What is a cool-down period and does this camera have one?

A cool-down period is the time after activity was sensed and an alert was sent to your phone. During this time, the Indoor + Outdoor Camera will not record or send alerts to your phone for five minutes if you have a Basic Plan. By upgrading to Cam Protect or Complete Protect, you'll minimize your cool-down period to zero, meaning there will be no wait in between recording or alerts from your device.
