I have 5 cameras and I would like 1 of them to record all motion events even when it’s not armed. Is that possible?

I don't think that's possible. Cameras just won't do anything, when unarmed. At least for my case, when I can see "feed" from my ARLO app. Not 100% sure if that's also the case, if the app shows "library"

By definition, if the camera is not armed then it will not record.

But you can modify "Standby" to add a rule for this camera that will tell it to record.

Then the camera would still be armed when you change the mode to "Standby". Note you can set up the rule to NOT notify you if you only want the recordings w/o being notified.

If you don't have a "Standby" mode, post back, and I can tell you how this would be done with the older "Library" interface.
