Mode for camera groups without a base station

I've searched and not found an easy solution. I have a variety of Arlo wireless cameras. I do not have a base station. How can I easily create an "indoor" and "outdoor" group/mode so that specific cameras are armed/unarmed with the press of a button? Thank you.

Unfortunately there is no way to do this.

Thanks, StephenB. Seems reasonable that such a feature wouldn't be hard to implement. It would essentially mimic pressing "armed" or "disarmed" simultaneously for several cameras.

FWIW, I suggested that modes/rules needed an overhaul a couple of years back, and creating camera groups was part of that suggestion.
