Redundant.
SetWaitableTimer cancels the timer first.

To eliminate possible UTC problems, test with
    liDueTime.QuadPart=-200000000;	// 20 seconds
and see if it sleeps for 20 seconds.

Also, you should check this error as well....
fResume 
[in] If this parameter is TRUE, restores a system in suspended power conservation mode
when the timer state is set to signaled. Otherwise, the system is not restored. If the
system does not support a restore, the call succeeds, but GetLastError returns
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

I don't think hTimer is valid in another thread.
Your security attribute is set to "not-inheritable".

I think you should use a callback function in 
SetWaitableTimer. It would either finish the job of turning on
the power, or just post a message for your app to start recording.
It could also Delete the Timer so you could Create it the next time.
