Scheduling + Mode Problems

virghilts — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 17:15:00 GMT

Hello I'm having some difficulties setting modes and schedules. I have been looking through the boards and followed, what I thought was the correct procedures on activating one camera to motion detect. I'm trying to set my camera in the backyard to record from 9:00 to 11:59PM, and then from 12:00am to 5:00am (this is all PST) I set two schedules based on some threads suggesting to break them into two since I'm spanning over PM to AM. I've also tried just setting from 12:00am to 5:00am with the same result. The camera is recording on all motion at all times. I screen shot each step to make sure I was doing correctly.

I tried to catch each step in order, at the end my backyard camera is still showing motion at 12:46PM. What am I doing wrong?

What you didn't show was whether you have selected the schedule to be active or if a mode, perhaps your new mode or Armed, is active.

Appreciate the response jguerdat, I have the New Mode Backyard Camera Active. Is that not correct? So you create the mode, align the schedule to the mode, and activate the schedule? So schedule acts as the "Master"?

Yes, when the schedule is activated it controls what modes run, when. You have a choice, the schedule or a mode to be active.
