Turning motion detection off for a short term

glass2181 — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 02:42:35 GMT

We have 5 cameras set up. There are 2 in the back yard which when we are working in the garden or mowing grass are activated repeatedly. Is there a way to turn these 2 cameras off when my husband is spending the day in the yard. It seems pointless to use battery power as they are repeatedly activated.

Yes you can.

Just go into 'settings', then 'mode' and you can select each camera to turn it off.

I do that when there is washing on the line in my back garden which keeps activating the camera.

Don't forget to click 'SAVE' after each process.

Hope that helps

Turn all the cameras off or,

Create a new MODE with those 2 cameras OFF and the rest of the cameras ON.....

SETTINGS / MODE / ADD / name Mode to YARD WORK ( or similar ), toggle all cameras on (green check mark) except the yard cams ( Black check mark).

SAVE upon exit

when activated mode YARD WORK, those back 2 cams witll be off, the rest on
