VMK3350 - can I put cameras on standby via my cell phone when out of town?

Daytime videos are using the battery - charging every other day. Would like to use standby. Can I remove and set the camera using my cell phone. I find that option but not sure how or what it will do.

Don't remove the cameras from the account.

Just go to the dashboard, and press the standby control. The mode you are in is shown in color, the others are black and white.

Thank you - I went to my cell - dashboard - standby (green) - does this do all 3 cameras?

Yes. Is that what you want it to do?

You can also set this up to switch between Arm Home and Standby on a schedule. Let us know if you want to do that.

You are. Somehow when you created your community username, you selected it.
