Everyone in the household that has a phone with the Arlo app on it can participate. Over here there are two users, myself and my wife. Only when BOTH of us are out of the house the "Away" mode kicks in. As soon as either of us (or both) enter the zone again, it's set back to "Home" mode.

Thanks for the response. I thought thats how it would work however, I have not been able to create mutlple accounts for one system. I'm assuming each member of the household should have their own log in. Am I correct?

Yes and no. You do not have to create accounts, you can "grant access" to an emailaddress. The other persons then receive a link in their mail to create their own account. You can allow them to manage or just to view your cameras. Once they are logged in with their phone, they are added to the list in Geofencing and you can enable them to be included.

I am having an issue with my geofencing. My wife and I both have our devices set up as devices in geofencing. But, it arms when just I leave the house, while she is still home. Is there some way to change that setting so It will only arm outside of our night schedule when BOTH her and I are outside the geofence?

I never was able to resolve the geofencing issue. Can't seem to get it to work for more than one user. Only seems to recognize when I am home but not others.
