Rules are now a subset of Modes.

So when you add a new Mode, you can create Rules that sit beneath that Mode (there's an 'Add Rule' button).

Not as much sensitivity adjustment, and much more cumbersome

Yes, new learning curve with new software esp since running it for a year,.... but I have found after the trial setup of my cameras I have never gone back to change the sense settings.

As to the adjustment, it still goes from 1 to 100 on sense settings , are you saying the settings are different? I still use all my old rules in the custom modes and they operate the same.

I have noted if your using the NEW defaults ( ARMED ), the adjustments are the default 80% on sense and 10 sec record so you may have to re-set these.

Yes. New app on phone only allows sensitivity in whole numbers, (1,2,3, etc) used to be able to drag the bar to put it anywhere wanted. I have a camera that I adjust due to objects in my driveway (cars) the reflection in the windows will set it off, but other times I want it very sensitive. App is not allowing that now.

And I have my cameras on a schedule setting, there is now no way to adjust each. I have to create all new schedules and settings? Not a good update. Put camera sensitivity on its own.

Maybe I'm thick (seems to be happening a lot) but I don't see the problem. You still go to the Mode tab, select your system and edit whatever mode you want. Once in there, you edit the camera(s) which allows you to change sensitivity and time. What am I missing?

Was able to find the modes, but not able to adjust sensitivity to more than whole numbers. Also found that when there is a schedule, have to break down the modes on schedule to motion on or motion off. I need 65% back. Not 6 or 7. Was a lot easier to just hit "rules" and then the camera and then adjust it. Updates are supposed to be better, not worse.

Whole numbers, yes. I noticed that before. Of course the question is whether finer control realistically gets you anything, including whether the hard/soft/firmware just rounded off before (81-84 became 8(0) and 85-89 became 9(0)). We don't have all the info including whether the previous small steps made any real difference. I know I putzed with them at the top end of the range with little noticeable effect.
